| Latest Chelsea injury report: Lampard provides updates on ziyech and James |
hopeful that Hakim Ziyech will be available to
face Manchester City this weekend.
The Moroccan international was only expected to
be out for a couple of weeks with a hamstring
injury but he has not featured since pulling up
in early stages of the 3-1 win over Leeds at the
start of the month. Lampard says the 27-year-
old is now closing in on his comeback:
“There’s a possibility he could be fit for
Manchester City if it goes ahead on Sunday.
He’s certainly progressing to the point where
he’s very close to fitness.”
Reece James was also a surprise omission from
the starting line up for the 1-1 draw against
Aston Villa on Monday but Lampard revealed
that the right-back had suffered a “small”
hamstring problem in the build-up to the match
and was left out as a precaution.
James also has a knee issue that needs to be
managed carefully so it is very much 50/50 as to
whether he’ll be included in the eleven when
the Blues host City at Stamford Bridge on
Sunday evening.
