Chelsea's Eden Hazard 'sick' ahead of Belgium against Spain

Eden Hazard is a doubt for Belgium's international friendly with Spain on Tuesday due to illness, according to head coach Marc Wilmots.

Chelsea midfielder Hazard, 24, played the full 90 minutes of Belgium's 3-1 win over Italy on Friday.

"Eden is sick," Wilmots told HLN, as quoted by the London Evening Standard. "He has some fever and a sore throat. He will remain until tomorrow in his room.

"We'll see how it goes, and will then have to decide whether it will be OK on Tuesday night for him."

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, who are 16th in the Premier League table, are next in action against Norwich City on Saturday.

Hazard has made 12 league appearances for the Blue so far this season, recording two assists.
