I don't see it being a permanent situation, because Mourinho is still searching for an answer up front.
He does not have many other options - Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao are Chelsea's other recognised strikers.
Remy is OK, but is he good enough for Chelsea? I am not convinced. As for Falcao, Mourinho thought he could get him back to being the phenomenal player he was before his cruciate injury in 2014, but a lot of people have already tried and failed there.
Neither of them were available on Sunday, so Mourinho played Hazard out of position up front.
