Chelsea defender Cahill: Mourinho and Hazard sorted things out

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill is confident there'll be no fallout from Eden Hazard's absence from a training session this week. Hazard was dropped by manager Jose Mourinho for their Champions League win over Schalke after the episode.

Cahill said: "They had their chat one to one and the situation is dealt with.

"Eden Hazard is a terrific player and we obviously need him in the squad and available, so of course we look forward to having him back. I think the manager makes his decisions and he does not have to explain every one.

"But the camp is happy - especially when we are winning games.

"And the fact players know exactly where they stand but there are no grudges - I suppose you could say that is what people talk about as the Mourinho effect."
