Hazard: Everyone is behind Conte

Eden Hazard claims there is no unrest behind the scenes at Chelsea, despite Antonio Conte's seemingly fractious relationship with the club's board and recent defeats to Bournemouth and Watford.

This season's title defence isn't as disastrous as the one under Jose Mourinho in the 2015-16 term. However, the Blues' fourth-placed Premier League standing, a tricky Champions League round-of-16 meeting with Barcelona, and Conte's complaints about Chelsea's transfer policy have led to repeated reports that chairman Roman Abramovich will pull the trigger.

For now, Conte is set to man the dugout in Tuesday's visit from Barcelona, and he can apparently rely on support from his playing staff.

"Everyone is behind him (Conte). All we want is to climb the table - and give everything against Barcelona," Hazard told Telefoot, as reported by BBC Sport.

He added: "We will see what happens after."

Hazard has been the subject of constant links to Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, and is yet to quash this transfer tattle by signing new terms at Chelsea. The Belgian insists he is happy in the English capital, but didn't publicly rule out shifting to the continent in the future.

"I'm already under contract for (another) two-and-a-half years at Chelsea," the 27-year-old said.

"I'm very well there. It's been several years that Real Madrid has been talked about. When it's not Real, it's Paris. If I ever have to change, I will change."

The Lille product was slowly introduced into the first-team fray this season after undergoing ankle surgery over the summer. He has been at his most influential lately, scoring six times and assisting once in his last six appearances.
