Chelsea star Eden Hazard admits he is feeling the 'wear and tear' of kickings and special treatment from Premier League rivals

The Belgian star, 27, admits he's been doing yoga since joining the Blues in a bid to keep himself fit and strong as he gets older.

But Hazard claimed he's growing increasingly frustrated at the heavy-handed treatment he gets from opposition defenders and is starting to feel it in his body.

Hazard said: “I am feeling the wear and tear, I have been playing football as a professional for more than ten years now.

“I’m 27 now and starting to get older, so I have to take more care of my body. I have been doing yoga since I came to Chelsea.

“I am not happy about it [being targeted by opponents] but it’s part of football. The referee tries to do his job and I try to do mine.


“I guess when I am on the floor I can win free kicks so every free kick with Chelsea is a chance to score more goals.”

Meanwhile, Hazard claimed Chelsea are looking good to clinch a domestic-European double this season, as they look to extend their 17-game unbeaten run against Everton.

The Belgian star added: “We are in good shape in the Europa League and the Premier League and we want to keep winning.

“Sunday against Everton is an important game. We want to keep playing like this, scoring goals and winning like this.”
