Meanwhile, Sports Brief reported on Eden Hazard being spotted at Stamford Bridge ahead of the 1-1 draw between his former club and the visiting Liverpool.

The Belgian is currently without a club after his contract was mutually terminated by Real Madrid last season after four years and a struggle to find his form.

His presence also sparked speculation that he could return to the club on a short-term basis after a serious injury to attacking midfielder, Christopher Nkunku.
