Now that should be that, until the next time!

The second international break of the 2017 / 2018 season is over, the players will be arriving back at Cobham to resume club duties ahead of the Premier League fixture with Crystal Palace this weekend.

One player who the Chelsea support will be hoping can provide the spark to ensure we`re not the first team to not take all three points off of a beleaguered Crystal Palace side, is Eden Hazard.

Last night (Tuesday), Eden was one of three Chelsea players selected by the Belgian manager, Roberto Martinez, to play in Belgium`s final qualifying group game against Cyprus.

It turned out to be a good night for Eden with the jewel-in-our-crown netting twice to help Belgium to a comfortable 4-0 win against Cyprus.

Hazard scored his goals either side of a goal from someone else who was once on Chelsea`s books, Thorgen Hazard, with Eden`s younger brother scoring his first international goal.

Belgium, who were one of the first countries to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, in Russia, comfortably topped their group.

In the 10 games they played they won 9 and drew 1 and topped their group by a massive 9 points, ahead of Greece who finished as the runners-up.

Russia 2018 will the perfect stage to show the world just how good he his!
