Chelsea team news: Eden Hazard ruled out of Europa League match against PAOK with ankle injury sustained during Tottenham defeat
Eden Hazard has been ruled out of Chelsea’sEuropa League clash with PAOK as the Blues look to secure top spot in their group.The Belgian has an ankle injury following their Premier League defeat to Tottenham at the weekend.2

Hazard was unable to help Chelsea get a result at Wembley

But Hazard is expected to play against Fulham on Sunday – a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT, kick-off 12pm.Victor Moses (back) is also out, with head coach Maurizio Sarri likely to make changes ahead of 10 matches in the month of December.Sarri’s men need to avoid defeat at Stamford Bridge to guarantee top spot in a game they’re expected to win comfortably.Even a defeat may still be enough as Chelsea are six points ahead of second-placed MOL Vidi so the Hungarian side would need a win to stand any chance of overtaking the Premier League side.However, despite there being little pressure on Thursday’s game, Sarri is looking for a positive reaction following the weekend woes at Wembley. He said:“He [Hazard] will not be able to play tomorrow, but I think we’ll be able to recover him for the next Premier League match (against Fulham on Sunday).“I am worried because 25 days ago he had a back injury. Now an ankle. He has lost a lot of training. It’s normal at the moment he isn’t at the top of his physical condition.“I want to see a reaction, but I want also to see a reaction in the next Premier League match (on Sunday against Fulham). I want to see we learned our lessons.”Provisional squad: Kepa, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Pedro, Kovacic, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Morata, Luiz, Emerson Palmieri, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Ampadu, Bulka.2
