Chalobah Sends Ziyech Message to Potter After World Cup Outing

• Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has praised his Chelsea teammate Hakim Ziyech for his World Cup outing
• Ziyech has been a shining light for Morocco who are set to face Croatia for the bronze medal later today
• Chalobah praise appears like an indirect message to Graham Potter on the winger's position in the team

Hakim Ziyech returned to the Morocco squad for the World Cup after being left out of their AFCON squad earlier this year due to issues with the former manager.

Walid Regragui who took over just three months before the start of the World Cup brought the winger back and slotted him straight into the team.

The former Ajax man has stepped up massively for the Atlas Lions at the World Cup, replicating the form he was known for in his days in the Dutch Eredivisie.

He has been an inconsistent figure at Chelsea and has considered departure but teammate Trevoh Chalobah has sent a message to Graham Potter about him.

Chalobah praises Ziyech's performance

Trevoh Chalobah was home for the World Cup as he is yet to have a senior call-up for England and could still switch his international allegiance to Sierra Leone.

He is part of the Chelsea squad that went to the team's warm weather camp in Dubai and are preparing for the return of the Premier League on December 26.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he praised Ziyech while sending an indirect message to Chelsea boss Graham Potter about the Moroccan winger.

“He’s done really well, played a lot of games and showed his consistent level,“ Chalobah said.

The part of consistent level in Ziyech's performance may have appeared false as he has not been for Chelsea but it's a message to Potter to show the 29 year old can be trusted and deliver consistent performances.
