English Premier League kicks off with thrilling action: Weekend 1 overview
With new players, coaches and newly appointed captains from respective clubs, let’s analyse the matches that happened this opening English Premier League weekend.
Crocked Chelsea winger Eden Hazard may be months away from returning to the football pitch, but isn't letting his injury bring him down in the summer break, as he is happy with his recovery and has got himself a special ‘summer haircut’.
Hazard uploaded a trio of images on his Twitter account with the caption, “Being driven around by my family, so can keep my foot up. Good progress as I have managed a summer haircut! #recovery #cfc”.
The 26-year-old winger broke his ankle while on international duty for Belgium earlier in June and was subsequently operated upon, with Chelsea releasing a statement that their star winger would be missing in action for a period of up to three months.

While the initial diagnosis had been an August return for the mercurial winger, the Premier League champions’s statement pushed his return back to September, which would mean that Hazard would miss Chelsea’s opening games of the 2017-18 season.
After the operation, which was successful, Hazard had initially tweeted “Everything went well with my ankle operation, now I start the road to recovery! I will be stronger. Thank you for your support everyone!!"
