Chelsea legend Pat Nevin says one of Christian Pulisic, Pedro or Willian will step up in the absence of Eden Hazard.

The Blues will have to fill a glaring void in their side after Hazard's departure to Real Madrid.

Nevin told the club's official website: "We did also lose a world great in the summer obviously, but just maybe that will allow more opportunities for others to flourish.

"Do not be surprised if one of Pedro, Willian or indeed Christian Pulisic has an unusually productive season.

"Eden understandably was the go-to man when we attacked, but now others will get more service, it will almost certainly have a positive effect on at least one of them.

"They will never say they were happy to see Eden leave because nobody was, but these players in particular will grasp at the positives."
