Sarri gives important update on Hazard's injury after limping off in Chelsea's win over Brighton

- Eden Hazard's injury at Brighton has been played down by Maurizio Sarri

- The Chelsea winger limped of and was substituted in the 83rd position

- The 27-year-old was on the scoresheet and provided an assist in the Blues win

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has debunked claims Eden Hazard's injury was a serious not one during the Blues 2-1 win at Brighton.

The Blues star man limped off in the 83rd minute and was replaced after scoring and making an assist.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined with a number of injuries in the past including back and ankles problems but Sarri says the latest in minor.

Hazard, who scored on goal and assisted another, limped off in the 83rd minute at the Amex Stadium and was replaced by Olivier Giroud.

He has been sidelined by back and ankle injuries this term but Sarri says the latest problem is minor.

“It was only a knock,” Sarri said in his post-match press conference. “It shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Hazard set up Pedro for Chelsea's first in the 17th minute before doubling the advantage in the 33rd but Solly March's second half strike was not enough for Seagulls as it ended 2-1 to Chelsea.

But despite getting maximum points away at the Annex Stadium, Sarri was not satisfied with his team's performance.

“I think that we could have won better,” he said. “We played very well for 60 minutes.

“We conceded a goal when we were in full control.

“In my mind it was clear in that moment that we had to suffer in the box, we are not a physical team.

“I tried with the substitutions to have more of a physical presence.”

The 59-year-old was then asked if complacency contributed to his side's lack of display after the first half and he responded: “When we have the feeling to be in control of the match it is dangerous for ourselves.

“The first situation in our box in 30 minutes, I think we were a bit unlucky.

“When we are sure to be in control of the match.”

Sarri’s Brighton counterpart Chris Hughton believes his side deserved a point.
