“I wouldn’t like those comments if I were a player and I think it helps Eden Hazard’s decision to part company with the club which has been widely reported with Real Madrid [interested],” Stewart told Love Sport Radio.
“You don’t want a manager going public and saying things of that nature.
“Let’s be honest, Sarri hasn’t particularly won everybody over at Chelsea yet and we know how gung-ho the owner is so you have to be very careful, especially with such influential players.
“I don’t think Hazard has hit the heights for Chelsea that he has done in the past.
“I know he started well this season but he doesn’t look happy with Chelsea Football Club at this moment in time and something like that might just make his mind up on what he does next regarding moving on and whether that’s before the window closes even.”

“Is he not pushing him towards Heathrow to get on a plane to Madrid?” Alan Brazil asked on talkSPORT.
“It seems that way,” Phillips replied.
“And history suggests, certainly at Chelsea, once you come out and start publicly criticising your players, it only ends one way.
“And to do it to your best player is very bizarre.”
