Euro2016: Chelsea star Hazard insists he is okay for Belgium quarter-final

Belgium captain Eden Hazard is confident he will be fine for Friday night's Euro2016 quarter-final clash with Wales.

The Chelsea star sustained a thigh injury in the 4-0 Round of 16 win over Hungary on Sunday but after missing training throughout this week, indicates he will be fit to take on the Dragons in Lille.

"My injury is okay, I was able to train this morning," Hazard said at the pre-match press conference on Thursday.

"I didn't feel too much pain.

"We've still got 24 hours to go before the match so I can still have some treatment and we'll do that during the day."
