Chelsea star Hazard rolled out of sick bed to play for Belgium

Belgium national coach Marc Wilmots has confirmed that Chelsea star Eden Hazard has got off his sick bed to take part in team training on Monday.


The Belgium boss earlier suggested that Hazard would miss the training due to sickness.

Belgium were scheduled to play Spain in Brussels in a friendly on Tuesday before the match was cancelled because of security concerns stemming from the Paris terrorist attacks on Friday.

Wilmots, speaking to HLN, said of Hazard: "Eden is sick.

"He has some fever and a sore throat. He will remain until tomorrow [Monday] in his room.

'"We'll see how it goes, and will then have to decide whether it will be OK on Tuesday night for him."

Hazard, along with all the other Belgian and Spanish players, will now forego the friendly before returning to their respective clubs ahead of weekend league action.
