Chelsea are preparing to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Boxing Day. Ahead of the game, the Blues boss Frank Lampard has provided an injury update on Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell and Reece James.
Ziyech has missed the Blues last four games after having sustained a hamstring injury during the first-half of Chelsea's win over Leeds United at the beginning of the month.
Speaking about Ziyech, during a press conference, Lampard said: "No, he won't be fit for Arsenal.
"It's a muscle injury so we need to wait for it to recover.
"Not a long-term concern and we hope to have him back in a week or so.
"That's football when players are playing every two or three days."
Lampard also provided an update on Chilwell and James and discussed whether the duo will be available for Arsenal and Aston Villa games.
He said: "They are both doubtful. Can't give an answer. Not sure if fit for either game."
