Eden Hazard calls Didier Drogba 'The King' as Chelsea ace posts selfie with veteran striker as they share an ice bath


Eden Hazard may be among the world's premier players but the midfield ace places his Chelsea team-mate Didier Drogba high on a pedestal nonetheless.
Hazard proudly posted an image of himself with Drogba, aka 'the King' to use the Belgian's words, as they endured a routine ice bath during a recovery session.
'Ice bath with the king @didierdrogba,' Hazard posted on his Instagram profile.

The duo are both out of action during the international break with Hazard being left out of Marc Wilmots' Belgium squad playing Australia on Thursday to overcome a string of niggling injuries.
Drogba retired from international football with the Ivory Coast following their tight win in the World Cup over Greece.
Both players have appeared in each of Chelsea's three wins so far in the Premier League, with Hazard a regular starter for Jose Mourinho and Drogba featuring off the bench.

Hazard's hero worship of Drogba isn't new – the 23-year-old waxed lyrical about the Ivorian after he was given a rousing reception on his return to Stamford Bridge for Galatasaray last year.
'He is still one of the best strikers in the world,' Hazard said at the time, not knowing he'd be playing alongside Drogba this season.
'It is true that he is no longer young but that's how we young players learn - by meeting people like him.
