Chelsea have received a timely boost ahead of their weekend clash against Everton at Goodison Park as Eden Hazard has been declared fit.
He had been pictured hobbling off the Hampden Park pitch with a sore achilles just 20 minutes into Belgium's final training session before their World Cup qualifier with Scotland last week.
The sight of Hazard wincing in pain, after taking off his left boot and sock, sent a shudder through Stamford Bridge, particularly as it appeared to be a problem that kept recurring.
Improved: Eden Hazard had hobbled off during Belgium training in Scotland with an achilles problem
But as Belgium's players headed back to their clubs from Glasgow Airport on Saturday, a senior member of their medical staff said the injury had settled down after responding to treatment.
There is 'no reason' why he could not play a full part in training this week, in readiness for Saturday's match with Everton.
Recovery: He was forced to miss Belgium's match against Scotland but will be fit for Chelsea to play Everton

I doubt he will start however, probably Schurrle, Mata and De Bruyne will play. - Poopfeast420 , Belgium, 10/9/2013 17:33*********** William is ready too mate along with Oscar

I hope they won't forget Debruyne..he was by far the best player during Belgium's world cup campain. And he has currently serious doubts, according to his Belgian temamates..he is doubting if he made the right choice with Chelsea..last time he was not even on the Chelsea bench...If he won't play, he will ask for another team in January 2014. He want's to be in good shape for the world cup... Mourinho better be honest with him... He's not a player to be 3rd of 4th choice...he will become unhappy then and leave...

There will be plenty of opportunity for DeBruyne to play like cup clashes and if Frank needs a rest against lower league clubs.
