Hakim Ziyech was injured in the pre-season friendly against Brighton in his debut match for Chelsea. Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard said that Ziyech has twisted his knee in the second half of the match.
On the other hand, Ben Chilwell is also struggling with a heel injury when he signed from Leicester last month.
The Former Ajax star is almost certainly out of the first Premier League game with his return date as yet unknown. Although Chilwell is back in training, it is still doubtful if he joins his teammates for the trip to the south coast.

“I’m feeling really good.”
“The injury is healing really well and I’ve been doing a lot of fitness work over the past four or five weeks,” Chilwell told Chelsea’s official website last week.
