Former Chelsea and Iceland forward, Eidur Gudjohnsen has said he is worried the Blues could lose Eden Hazard after failing to qualify for the Champions League.
The Blues won the Premier League title in the penultimate season but could only finish fifth last term, amid regular speculation regarding the future of head coach, Antonio Conte.
The prospect of playing in the Europa League is unlikely to entice Belgium international Hazard, who has previously been touted as a potential target for Real Madrid.
Speaking to Omnisport, Gudjohnsen was asked if he expects Hazard to stay at Stamford Bridge.
“I hope so. I’m afraid, I’m afraid. He wants to know where Chelsea are going, what direction, which coach is coming, whether Conte is staying or someone else.
“A lot will depend on how Chelsea present the future to him to convince him that he should be there for a long time.
“It’s been a disappointing season. Even winning the FA Cup, which is a wonderful day for the fans, a trophy with a lot of history, but for Chelsea not to qualify for the Champions League or not be in the top four is always a disappointment. No matter how you look at it,” he said.
