Ziyech not ready for Liverpool clash – Chelsea boss Lampard

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has revealed Hakim Ziyech will miss their Premier League clash against Liverpool on Sunday.

The 27-year-old teamed up with the Stamford Bridge outfit this summer after the Blues had agreed on a fee of €40 million last term with Ajax.

The Morocco international, however, suffered a knee injury against Brighton and Hove Albion in a pre-season game on August 29.

The forward subsequently missed Chelsea’s opening Premier League game of the 2020-21 season against Brighton on Monday.

Lampard has now confirmed the summer signing is still not fit enough to make his English top-flight debut.
