(Reuters) - New signing Hakim Ziyech will make his Chelsea debut when they play Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, manager Frank Lampard said as he looks to put the finishing touches to his new-look forward line.
Ziyech, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from Ajax Amsterdam in the close season, has recovered from a knee injury that ruled him out of the start of the campaign.
"Hakim Ziyech is in the squad. He's not fit to start but is fit enough to participate in some way, we hope," Lampard told a news conference on Friday. "We're looking to build relationships all over the pitch. Those things can only be worked on. There are teams that have shown how long it takes to be a top team. We're at the start of that journey."
