Hakim Ziyech is ‘not at the right place’ claims Dutch legend Marco van Basten who questions why Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel selects Timo Werner even when he plays 'really badly'

Thomas Tuchel's management of Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech has come under fire from Dutch legends Marco van Basten and Dirk Kuyt.

After scoring the winning goal for the Blues against Manchester City in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium, the Moroccan international found himself on the bench against West Ham on Sunday.

He came on for Christian Pulisic late in the second half for a 15-minute cameo and his 19th Premier League appearance of the season.
