Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has urged Eden Hazard to 'step up' and insists the Belgian midfielder does not want to leave the club.
Hazard has struggled to recapture the form he showed last season that led to him being named the PFA Player of the Year and Hiddink has told him to raise his game after another poor performance, this time against Paris St Germain on Tuesday.
‘It is not just attitude. He was in a difficult situation, he has to step up,' Hiddink said ahead of Sunday's FA Cup fifth round clash with Manchester City.

The Chelsea interim manager has revealed he has spoken to Hazard about recapturing his best form
'We have talks with him, although I don’t like broad talks to take hours, but small conversations to take him to the next level, which is what he wishes.
‘Sometimes we see what he is able to do. We hope to see the old Hazard more frequently. He can show more, he is aware of that. Now it is up to him.’
Ahead of Tuesday's 2-1 defeat by the French Champions in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash, Hazard admitted it would be hard to say no if PSG wanted to sign him.

But Hiddink, who was appointed until the end of the season following Jose Mourinho's sacking in December, insists the Belgian winger is happy at the club.
'I have had a very short conversation with him and he is happy here and his family are happy here,' Hiddink said.
'There has been no sign that he wants to leave the club.'
