Jose Mourinho has told Eden Hazard he will be left on the bench until he matches the workrate of Willian and Pedro.
The Belgian was left out of the starting line-up for the 2-0 win over Aston Villa yesterday.
Mourinho afterwards left Hazard in no doubt what he has to do to win back his place.
"I left out Hazard because we are conceding lots of goals," he said. "We need to defend better.
"When you don't have the ball, quality means nothing and what means [thumps chest]... you have or you don't have.
"It was just a tactical decision, leaving super quality on the bench, but bringing tactical discipline and hoping that the team could be solid.
"Willian and Pedro did amazing defensive work and allowed the midfield players to be very comfortable.
"I continue that way, or he comes in our direction and tries to replicate the same work that Willian and Pedro did."
