Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard is a doubt for the team's final game of the season on Sunday after having emergency dental surgery.

The Football Writers' Association announced today that Hazard, who was named their Footballer of the Year, will miss tonight's ceremony after he had three wisdom teeth removed.

It has now been suggested that the Belgium international will not be included in Jose Mourinho's team for Sunday's game against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge, where they will later be presented with the Premier League trophy.

A statement from the FWA said: "Footballer of the Year Eden Hazard has had emergency dental surgery and will be unable to collect his award in person tonight. Hazard tried to delay the surgery, but had to have three wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday and is still in considerable pain.

"Previous winner Gianfranco Zola will pay tribute to Hazard and Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck will deliver a message from the player. Hazard will almost certainly miss Chelsea's final game against Sunderland - the first Premier League game he will have missed this season."

Hazard was also named the PFA Player of the Year last month.
