Willian believes that Chelsea's other attackers must ease the burden on Eden Hazard.

While the Belgian has shown incredible form since the start of the season, Willian knows that he needs help.

Hazard is not available for the upcoming Europa League game against Bate Borisov on Thursday, after sustaining a minor back injury against Manchester United on Saturday.

Willian told the Evening Standard: "We know how important Hazard is for us, but we have a great team with a lot of quality players.

"Sometimes he can't score or make an assist, that's why we need the whole team. Sometimes he tries and it doesn't work.

"The other players have to work together to try and do something with each other. Against Manchester United was like that. He tried to score, he tried to dribble.

"They put two-three players around him every time he had the ball and maybe that was why it was difficult for him.

"Will teams look to target him? Yes of course - when a game is like that they look at him, but it means others can find more space."
