Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo is adamant he won't be rushing Eden Hazard into the starting XI with the west London outfit.

The 21-year-old has been labelled as one of the most promising young players in Europe, with a host of clubs across the continent looking at the playmaker before his switch to Stamford Bridge from Lille in June.
Having made the big-money move from Ligue 1, much is expected of the Belgian international, as he prepares for life in one of the toughest leagues in world football.
However Di Matteo is keen to not overwhelm the youngster in the high pace of the Premier League and he hopes to give the playmaker a chance to adapt at Chelsea, who you can back using your free bet.
He said: "Of course, we are looking for Eden to be incisive, but we have to be patient.
"He is a young man, he has come from a different league in France and we need to give him time to adapt."
