Conte issues rallying call

Antonio Conte has urged Eden Hazard and Chelsea to seize their opportunity in tonight’s Champions League Group C clash at Atletico Madrid.

Diego Costa’s move to re-join Atletico from Chelsea is an intriguing subplot of the clash, but Conte preferred to focus on his current squad yesterday.

And the Italian wants Belgium playmaker Hazard, who is yet to start in the Premier League this season following his broken ankle in June, to build on his scintillating title-winning displays last season with Chelsea again among Europe’s elite.
