Maurizio Sarri will have decisions to make when it comes to his team next season
It is looking increasingly likely that Hazard will join Real Madrid during the transfer window with reports suggesting the deal could be announced following the Europa League final with Arsenal.
The Blues will have to promote from within as they are due to be banned from signing any players for the next two transfer windows.
They are appealing the decision but may have to start planning for the worst case scenario.

How Chelsea could line-up at the start of next season
Not much is likely to change in the Chelsea defence unless Ethan Ampadu or Reece James can push for a starting place.
We could be seeing plenty of the young pair next season but Sarri may want to start with experience rather than throwing the pair in at the deep end.
