Eden Hazard insists there is more to come after his sparkling Premier League debut — but is adamant he has no concerns about handling the physical nature of English football. The Chelsea playmaker, 21, wasted no time making his mark following his £32 million summer move from Lille, setting up two goals inside seven minutes of his side’s league opener at Wigan. Hazard’s contribution ensured Roberto Di Matteo’s side got off to a winning start and they will attempt to build on that success when Reading visit Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. Hazard, Juan Mata and Oscar are expected to contest the positions in support of the main striker Fernando Torres and the Belgian believes it will take time to properly bed in. He added: “There are still a lot of things I can do better. I lost a lot of balls in the second half, but I contributed what was asked of me. I was asked to be decisive and I was, with the penalty and an assist. “I started as the number 10 and then afterwards with Mata, we tried to interchange positions rather than stay in the same place and I think we worked rather well.”
