Chelsea star Hazard makes some surprise selections in his Dream five-a-side

Eden Hazard has named his five-a-side Dream Team which has included some surprise choices.

The Chelsea and Belgium star has selected a former Lille teammate, two current Blues and two former Stamford Bridge players in his all-star team of five.

Hazard named Thibaut Courtois a goalkeeper while veteran striker Didier Drogba was up forward. Manchester United's Juan Mata and Besiktas striker Demba Ba were also included while Roma's Gervinho was the surprise call-up.

Of the Ivory Coast international, Hazard said: "I played with him at Lille and we won two trophies together. He was very good at creating."

The selection of Ba may also turn heads, as will Hazard's reasoning for the addition of the Senegalese striker.

"My best friend!" Hazard said. "And not because I played with him, because I didn't really get the chance - he was on the bench a lot and then when he started to play I was injured."
