Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho knows Eden Hazard is being targeted this season. The winger has been fouled 74 times in the top flight - 14 more than Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling - as he prepares to face Burnley at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Mourinho said: "Eden has asked me to speak with some friends of mine who make carbon shin-pads. He wants one that covers the whole leg. Like a horse.
"Normally, if you get 100 fouls, the opponents will get a certain percentage of yellow cards.
"So if he is the most fouled player he should be the player creates more cards in the opponent. But he isn't."
