Chelsea coach Graham Potter insinuated that Hakim Ziyech’s World Cup performance with the Atlas Lions will not necessarily guarantee him a starting spot with his club.
Hakim Ziyech has struggled with being benched at Chelsea, having played just 148 minutes so far, and making his only start in August under previous coach Thomas Tuchel.
“At Chelsea there are always good players who aren’t in the starting XI and have to be patient,” Potter told reporters on Friday.
Noting that he’s been in touch with Ziyech, Potter insisted on the 29-year-old’s competence.
“We like him as a player, he plays between the lines with fantastic quality as we saw in the World Cup,” the coach added.
Ziyech has been linked with a move to AC Milan, which is reportedly still in negotiation with the Moroccan midfielder over salary.
