Eden Hazard has jumped to the defence of Chelsea and Belgium teammate Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku was hooked during their World Cup win over Russia.

"Lukaku has not been able to have much possession of the ball and he did not have much space at all and that's what I told him in the dressing room, but I told him he contributed to the victory," argued Hazard.
