Antonio Conte has spoken to Belgium coach Roberto Martinez about managing Eden Hazard's recovery from ankle surgery but is happy for the Chelsea forward to go away with the Red Devils.
Hazard has not featured for Chelsea this season after damaging his ankle while on international duty earlier this summer.
Despite not being fully fit yet, Martinez included Hazard in his squad for Belgium's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Gibraltar and Greece, which Conte admitted had surprised him.
Hazard did play 75 minutes for Chelsea's Under-23 side against Everton on Friday night, a game that ended 3-0 to the Toffees.
And Conte revealed on Sunday that Martinez assured him the 26-year-old will not be unnecessarily risked.
Conte said: "I had a conversation with Roberto yesterday and I think, now, it could be positive for Eden to go with the national team and have the training sessions. Then, yes, maybe to have the possibility to play a part of the game with Gibraltar.
"I told Roberto that, if I can help him, I'm ready to do this. Also because, in my past, I was coach of the national team. I know very well that his task is not easy.
"I spoke with the player and the player is happy to go and stay with the national team. He's the captain.
"But the most important thing is to continue to work very hard to improve, then have the possibility to bring him to the bench after the international break and start to think he's a new player for Chelsea this season."
