Hazard sustained the groin problem while attempting a shot at Selhurst Park and came off in the 15th minute after briefly attempting to play on.

Blues interim manager Guus Hiddink said it was too early to say how severe the injury is. "He sprained his leg. He slipped and has a little bit of a problem with a muscle in his groin," Hiddink said.
