“A real possibility”- new Chelsea signing to make his first debut on Saturday.
Chelsea have been haunted with a number of injuries to key players over the last year.
The likes of Christian Pulisic, N’Golo Kante, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all suffered with long or ongoing injury issues as the club was seemingly cursed with set backs.
This season has gone the same way so far, with shiny new signing Hakim Ziyech picking up an injury before he even kicked a ball competitively for his new club.
The Moroccan international picked up a knee injury in a pre-season friendly this summer and has yet to feature for Chelsea.
However, there is “a real possibility” that he makes his competitive debut for Frank Lampard’s side this Saturday as they face Southampton in the Premier League.
This is according to the reliable Simon Johnson who was reporting on The Athletic Real Time Section.
