Eden Hazard has been left out of Chelsea’s squad for their Europa League opener at PAOK.
Maurizio Sarri indicated he could rest the Belgium international after he scored a hat-trick in Saturday’s Premier League defeat of Cardiff City at Stamford Bridge.
And Hazard is the headline absentee from the 21-man travelling party for today’s match against the Greek side.
David Luiz, Mateo Kovacic and Emerson Palmieri have also been left behind by Sarri.
Chelsea have won all five of their Premier League matches under the Italian ahead of their clash with PAOK.
