Chelsea coach Tuchel is ‘very concerned’ about Hakim Ziyech’s injury Football

sport">That happened in the 40th minute, when Ziyech was unable to continue after a collision with Argentine defender Juan Foyth. The former football player of Ajax had a lot of pain in his shoulder and left the field accompanied by doctors.

sport">The 28-year-old Moroccan international had recently opened the score in Belfast for Chelsea. Ziyech did that on a pass from Kai Havertz, who passed the ball low from the left. Despite not hitting the ball quite well, he passed goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo.

Concerns at Tuchel about Ziyech

sport">Trainer Thomas Tuchel is very concerned about Ziyech. “If you change someone in the first half, something is really going on,” said the German. “Hakim was one of the better players. It was difficult to get him out.”

sport">What exactly is going on with the Moroccan international is not yet entirely clear. Ziyech dropped out shortly before half-time, apparently with an upper arm injury. He had already opened the scoring at that point. Chelsea won the game on penalties. The club opens the season in the Premier League next weekend against Crystal Palace.
