Chelsea boss Mourinho: Hazard can handle fatigue issues

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho isn't concerned about the fitness of Eden Hazard.

Hazard returned from recent international duty with Belgium complaining of fatigue.

Mourinho said: "That's a season for a player who is important for club and national team and a player I want to play every time and his coach in his country also wants to play every time.

"He's a player that plays with the ball, that creates, dribbles and plays with lots of intensity, so it's no surprise he's a bit tired.

"But I believe in him and his desire to play and help the team reach this season's objective, so I start with him."
