Chelsea’s Ziyech warns rivals he's still building his rhythm despite Malmo heroics

Hakim Ziyech has stated he is still working towards gaining full fitness after playing a key role in Chelsea’s 1-0 Champions League win over Malmo FF.

The African star scored the game’s only goal and featured for 74 minutes as Thomas Tuchel’s men overcame their stubborn hosts.

In addition, Ziyech’s effort saw him match Marouane Chamakh to become the joint-highest scoring Moroccan in Champions League history.

But the former Ajax star claimed that he is not yet fully back in the groove, warning Chelsea’s rivals that he'll continue to improve as he features in more matches through the season.
