Chelsea ace Eden Hazard is staying home this week.

The Sun says Blues boss Antonio Conte gave his triumphant players three days off immediately after Saturday's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, which made it 11 wins in a row.

Keeper Thibaut Courtois flew to New York, while striker Diego Costa is in Brazil visiting family.

But Belgian winger Hazard has been forced to remain at home to undergo further treatment on the niggling knee injury which he picked up ten days ago.

Hazard, 25, finished the full 90 minutes of Saturday's victory at Palace and is expected to be fit for the Boxing Day clash at home to Bournemouth.

But Chelsea medics want him in for extra recovery and rehab.
