Eden Hazard insists Chelsea will challenge for the Premier League title next season if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Antonio Conte’s side stormed to the title last year but have endured a miserable campaign, with the FA Cup remaining their only hope of silverware.
But Hazard has vowed to make amends by getting back to winning ways next season.
“I think it’s not good, because you want to play Champions League every year,” he told Sky Sports.
Hazard has bagged 15 goals so far but has struggled in recent months, failing to hit the target since February.
And the Belgian admits he’s disappointed with his personal return this season.
“No,” he said when asked if he’s happy with his stats this season.
“For the last two months, no (I have not been happy with my form). Because the results are not good. I don’t play football just for me, I play for the team. If I play good, but we are not winning, I am not happy. That’s it.
Chelsea travel to struggling Southampton tomorrow afternoon.
