Chelsea injuries update: Ben Chilwell and Hakim Ziyech doubtful for Premier League opener

The two signings might join an already long list of players who might (or are certain to) miss the Brighton game.

Ben Chilwell and Hakim Ziyech may have to wait for their official Chelsea debuts as they are not fully fit, according to Metro.

The left-back has been recovering from a heel injury for almost a month before moving to London; he's just had his first individual training session.

Ziyech twisted his knee in a friendly game against Brighton last weekend; at the moment, Frank Lampard could not speak about how serious the issue was.

Earlier, Reece James pulled out of the England U21 squad due to an injury as well, while Christian Pulisic is recovering from a hamstring injury.

With Mateo Kovacic suspended for the Premier League opener against Brighton, Frank Lampard does not have as many options to choose from as he would've liked.
