Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech was spectacular during his 30-minute cameo in Morocco’s 3-1 win over Senegal on Friday. The winger, who was signed in a £33.3 million from Ajax in February, has yet to make his debut for the blues after he suffered a knee injury during a pre-season friendly game against Brighton.

Hakim Ziyech has expressed his disappointment at how he ended his spell at Ajax, ahead of his transfer move to Chelsea. The Blues secured a deal to sign the Morocco international this year but football has since been rocked by the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to the suspension of games around Europe.
