Chelsea star Hazard left out of Europa League squad

Maurizio Sarri has left Eden Hazard out of his squad for the Europa League clash with PAOK on Thursday.

David Luiz, Emerson and Mateo Kovacic were also left out.

Sarri said: "Eden Hazard, because he told me after the national team and the match against Cardiff he was a little bit tired, so I thought it was better to stay at Cobham, to have training and rest.

"David Luiz is in Cobham, because he's playing very often now after six months without playing. And so I thought it was better for him to have training and rest."
