HAKIM ZIYECH has limped out of Chelsea’s friendly with Brighton, just two weeks before the start of the Premier League season.
The Moroccan was making his first outing in a Blues shirt following his switch from Ajax.
But it ended prematurely, as just ten minutes into the second half Frank Lampard was forced to withdraw the 27-year-old.
After appearing to hurt his ankle, Chelsea’s medical staff were taking no risks, as physios helped the ex-Ajax star as he limped off the Amex pitch.
He was replaced by academy starlet Conor Gallagher.
