Antonio Conte has said he’s looking forward to next summer’s hotly anticipated World Cup group game between England and Belgium.
A lot of the talk since the draw has been about England and Belgium given how many players there are in the Premier League that hail from the area.
Chelsea have a tasty few in Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Charly Musonda, while Gary Cahill and Danny Drinkwater could also feature for England next summer in the game between the two.
Conte on Hazard drawing England in the World Cup: "I saw England and Belgium are in the same group. Two teams will qualify for the next round and England and Belgium are favourites to do this. It will be special to see England vs Belgium. I would like to watch this game" #CHENEW

As Conte went on to say, he may need to give Gary Cahill some extra help when it comes to how to defend against Hazard, as the attacker today provided another masterclass against a panicking Newcastle defence.
He had two goals and should have had three from his quite amazing total of six shots on target.
Gareth Southgate and the boys beware, at the rate his performances have been going since he returned from injury, they could be in big trouble next summer.
