Chelsea star Hazard bumps Platini at AFC Tubize

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has been immortalised in his native Belgium.

Former club AFC Tubize have dumped Michel Platini to replace him with a statue of Hazard.

The player's mother said: "Eden was flattered that they thought to him. From 2000, we brought him four times a week to the stadium in Tubeke. He knows the picture well and thought it was a funny idea."
