Chelsea great Hazard: I could've played on

Former Chelsea hero Eden Hazard has no regrets about how his career unfolded.

The Belgian ex-winger, who also played for Lille and Real Madrid, retired in 2023.

He told The Standard, "Good question," he stated on whether he could have continued.

"I think so, but I decided playing football was over because I had a lot of injuries, and I have no regrets."

"I enjoy it a lot," he added on retirement.

"I miss my football a bit, especially being with the lads in the dressing room, but I can do what I want now. I have kids and a family. I can go to Belgium to see my family, brothers and parents. I can do a lot of things."

"I don't want to look like Peppa Pig!" he joked.

"I play tennis, padel, run a bit, I play football with my friends and stay active."
