Chelsea players love koala bears… but they're only interested in Hazard
CHELSEA players took time out from their busy post-season tour in Australia to befriend sleeping koala bears at the zoo.

Eden Hazard, Petr Cech, Jamal Blackman and Nathan Ake all snapped themselves with the cuddly marsupials at Taronga Zoo, Sydney.
But only Hazard managed to get a rise out of his bear, who looks around as the Belgian takes his selfie, evidently delirious to have met the PFA Player of the Year.
Unfortunately for goalkeepers Cech and Blackman and youngster Ake, the koalas weren't so intrigued.

And, not wanting to be left out, captain John Terry went one step further to get involved.
Meanwhile, manager Jose Mourinho got a hug of his own in the harbour.
Chelsea are in Australia as part of their post-season tour. They have already played a Thailand XI in Bangkok and will face Sydney tomorrow.
