The former Ajax man went off with an injury in the Blues’ Premier League game against Leeds United over the weekend.

Addressing Hakim Ziyech’s injury in a press conference after Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League draw against Krasnodar, Lampard said:

The former Derby County manager added:

Frank Lampard confident Hamik Ziyech will return for Chelsea soon

Chelsea are third in the Premier League table and have qualified for the Round of 16 in the Champions League. The Blues have started the season in impressive fashion as the new signings have slowly settled in.

Hakim Ziyech is yet to hit the heights of his spell in Ajax, but the right winger has shown glimpses of his ability on the ball. The 27-year-old has 2 goals and 3 assists to his name for the London side so far.

Frank Lampard is spoilt for choices in wide areas, with the likes of Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic able to play on either flank.
