Chelsea Star Eden Hazard Admits He Is Feeling 'Wear and Tear' After Rough Treatment From Opponents

Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard has admitted that he is starting to feel the 'wear and tear' of being a professional footballer after claiming that he feels 'targeted' by opponents looking to limit his quality and impact.

Hazard has been playing regular senior football since 2008 when he broke into the first team at Lille as a 17-year-old. And that debut full season is the only one in his career to date in which he has played fewer than 43 games.

"I am feeling the wear and tear, I have been playing football as a professional for more than ten years now," the Belgian is quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph.
