Chelsea boss Di Matteo keen to ease Hazard expectations

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo wants to ease expectations around Eden Hazard.

Hazard chose Chelsea ahead of Europe's biggest clubs this summer.

"We have a lot of high hopes for him, from what we've seen and what he's done in the past. He's an exciting player with a lot of good qualities," said the manager.

"But he's a young player, like Oscar, and we won't put too much pressure on him so he can settle in as soon as possible.

"He has great technical ability, pace to get away from players and I think he will show his ability over time."
