Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has admitted that he wants to be the "star" of this summer's Euro 2016 when he represents Belgium in the tournament.
The 25-year-old has had a troublesome season with Chelsea as he has struggled to find form and has been forced to the sidelines for spells with a hip injury.
Despite not hitting the heights in the Premier League this season, Hazard is hopeful that he will perform well for Belgium in France this summer.
"Being out [injured] is not cool but it allows you to be able to relax and get some rest," The Mirror quotes Hazard as saying. "So I will probably be fresher for the European Championships but we'll see whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"I want to be the star of the European Championship. I'm going to give the maximum in order to succeed and I hope that I will be ready at the start of the tournament.
"I hope to be 100% and not have to bother with more injuries. I will give everything to win the European Championship. You never know."
Belgium's first group game at Euro 2016 is against Italy on June 13.
