‘Thank you for your unparalleled support. Thank you for all the joyful moments we have shared since 2008.
‘Today I decided to put an end to my career as an international. The next generation is ready. I’m going to miss you so much.’
Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws reports that Hazard discussed the intention of retiring from the national team with his team-mates in the immediate aftermath of their final group match against Croatia.
