CHELSEA's preparations for tomorrow night's Europa League final have been dealt a massive blow after Eden Hazard was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

The Belgian wing-wizard pulled up late on in Saturday's 2-1 win at Aston Villa and has failed to recover in time for the showdown with Benfica at the Amsterdam Arena.

Interim boss Rafa Benitez is also sweating over the fitness of skipper John Terry , who was taken off at Villa Park.

"Hazard will not be available," Benitez said.

"John still we will try and see how he feels. We will try to see tomorrow.

"'It's not the best injury, but we will see today, we will see tomorrow with the medical staff and after we will decide.''

Ryan Bertrand will also be assessed after missing training today, while Demba Ba is cup-tied.
