Chelsea
forward Eden Hazard is expected to miss the champions' final Premier League
game of the season against Sunderland after undergoing emergency dental
surgery, the Football Writers' Association (FWA) said on Thursday.
The
24-year-old had three wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday and will be unable to
collect the FWA's Footballer of the Year trophy at their awards ceremony on
Thursday.
Hazard
has played in all 37 of Chelsea's league fixtures but is unlikely to feature
against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, where the west Londoners will
be presented with the Premier League trophy for the first time since 2010.
"Eden
Hazard has had emergency dental surgery and will be unable to collect his award
in person tonight (Thursday)," the FWA said in a statement.
"Hazard
will almost certainly miss Chelsea's final game against Sunderland – the first
Premier League game he will have missed this season."
Former
Chelsea striker Gianfranco Zola will pay tribute to Hazard, who also won the
Professional Footballers Association player of the year award last month, at
Thursday's awards ceremony.
Chelsea
chairman Bruce Buck will deliver a message from the Belgian international.
