Maurizio Sarri drops update on Eden Hazard's future

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has ruled out the possibility of Eden Hazard leaving Stamford Bridge before the end of the month.

The Belgium international has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer and the move remains a possibility with the Spanish transfer window still open.

However, speaking ahead of the Huddersfield Town game, Sarri has dismissed the chances of the Belgian parting ways, now that the English transfer deadline has passed.

He said: "I think it's impossible. Here the market is closed, so we cannot change important players now. It's impossible. Hazard is with us. I think definitely. It's not a problem."

Hazard only recently returned to training after an extended break for his World Cup exploits and he may only make the bench for the Blues' league opener against Huddersfield Town today.

Aside from Hazard, Willian's future has also been a point of discussion but the Brazilian has recently indicated that he is content to work under new head coach Sarri.
