Eden Hazard says he cannot wait for Belgium's opening match at Euro2016.

The Chelsea playmaker will captain the Red Devils against Italy in their first Group E in Lyon on Monday night and admits he is eagerly anticipating getting the tournament started after a frustrating club season in England.

Hazard is determined to prove to incoming Blues boss Antonio Conte, who will be in the opposite dugout as manager of the Azzurri, that he is a much better player than his subpar campaign with the West London club shows.

"I just can't wait for tomorrow to come around so I can begin this tournament," Hazard said on Sunday.

"I am very happy I can play against my future manager.

"I hope I can show him everything I am capable of next season."
