**Eden Hazard(L) and Diego Costa(R) show emotion after PSG loss**

The pair were both withdrawn in the second half at Stamford Bridge and are now fitness worries for Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Everton

Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are injury worries for Chelsea after the pair were withdrawn from the field during the Blues' clash with PSG.

Costa limped off midway through the second-half to be replaced by young striker Bertrand Traore.

The Spaniard had earlier scored to level the tie on the night after Adrien Rabiot's opener for the visitors.

His left-footed finish in the first-half was the standout moment of a fine display by the 27-year-old.

Hazard, who was less impressive during his time on the field, signalled his desire to come off with around 15 minutes of the second-half remaining and was replaced by Oscar.

By the time the Belgian was substituted the visitors had regained their lead courtesy of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic strike.

The Swede's goal put PSG 2-1 up on the night and 4-2 up on aggregate, leaving Chelsea needing to score three times to progress due to the away goals rule.

Chelsea will be hopeful the injuries to Costa and Hazard are not too serious with a tricky FA Cup quarter-final tie away to Everton to come on Saturday.
