Eden Hazard will be on the bench for Chelsea as they open their Champions League campaign against Qarabag on Tuesday. Antonio Conte's side are returning to the competition after a one-year absence and begin group stage at home to the Azeri Eden Hazard will be on the bench for Chelsea as they open their Champions League campaign against Qarabag on Tuesday. Antonio Conte's side are returning to the competition after a one-year absence and begin the group stage at home to the Azeri champions, who are making their tournament debut. Hazard underwent ankle surgery during the summer and made his first club appearance of the season as a substitute in the 2-1 win at Leicester , having featured from the bench in both of Belgium's recent World Cup qualifying matche Conte plans to manage his return to fitness with Sunday's visit of Arsenal - live on Sky Sports Premier League - on the horizon, followed by a midweek Carabao Cup tie against Nottingham Forest. It's part of a busy run of fixtures that sees Chelsea play seven games in September and Conte admits rotation will be required to keep his team fresh. "Eden Hazard is in the group and he's working very well to find the best physical condition, but I think he needs a bit of time to continue to improve and to avoid taking a stupid risk," Conte said. "You are never relaxed in England, because you have to play a tough league and also FA Cup and also Carabao Cup. "Now we are starting to play the Champions League. To play 60, 65 games it's normal, but it's not easy. In my past sometimes before a Champions League game you rested. In England it's not easy to do this. "When you make the decision (on selection) there is always the risk. The risk could be to play with the same players as against Leicester and then after the game, 'Why didn't you change the team that was tired?' "You know very well if you win you've made the best decision, if you lose you've made the worst decision. I must be realistic, I must be calm, to make the best decision for these seven games. "It's normal when you have to play seven games in 21 days to rotate my players. I'm very calm about this because I trust my players." Team news Danny Drinkwater will miss Chelsea's Champions League return with a calf problem. The midfielder picked up the injury in training on Sunday, but Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte otherwise has a fully fit squad to choose from and hinted he will rotate his players.
