Guus Hiddink is again expected to be without Eden Hazard when Chelsea face Everton on Saturday afternoon, but he could be fit to face Arsenal a week on Sunday.

The Belgian has not played since being taken off early in the 3-0 win against Crystal Palace on 3 January but Hiddink confirmed the winger is now back in training.

The reigning Premier League Player of the Year has endured a difficult season and has failed to score a single goal for the Blues this campaign.

Hiddink revealed that Hazard is back doing light training and could return to face Arsenal a week on Sunday.

"There were no injuries [against West Brom]," he said. "The only one who is not available yet is Eden Hazard, although he is on the pitch working."

He added: "I hope in the upcoming week he'll join full training."

Hiddink also said that if Hazard trains from Tuesday, for example, he is the running to make his comeback at the Emirates on 24 January.

Radamel Falcao is the only other injury concern.
