Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Gelson: More to Chelsea than Hazard

Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Gelson Fernandes has played down the prospect man-marking Eden Hazard tonight.

The Germans meet Chelsea in the first-leg of their Europa League semifinal.

Gelson told Foot Mercato: "Oh, it's a big game. It is a European chance, we will give the maximum.

"It's going to be a tough match, but anything can happen. The coach tells us to give our best and when we do, we are not an easy team to play. There will be no anti-Hazard plan, Chelsea does not rely only on individuals.

"Obviously, he is a player who is important to them, but they have others."
