Eden Hazard has named Brazil, Argentina and France as his three favourites to win the World Cup.

Hazard heads into the tournament with Belgium having struggled for playing time with Real Madrid, starting just two games so far this season.

Belgium begin their World Cup campaign against Canada on November 23, while they will also play Croatia and Morocco in Group F.

But Hazard insists Belgium should not be considered as one of the tournament frontrunners.

When asked to rate Belgium’s chances at the World Cup, Hazard told Marca: ‘It is a good team, with good players.

‘We have more experience than in the World Cup in Russia, but I haven’t been playing, Lukaku has had injuries.

‘We have doubts, although not inside. I think there are better teams than us.’
