The more I think about the fact that next season we have Ziyech and possibly Havetz start behind the striker , the 2 creators: Ziyech spot on with his crosses while Havetz can pass in between lines ... should Lampard start with Werner and Giroud instead of Pulisic & Werner ... move Werner to the left while Giroud as the striker. Werner gives the mobility in the left flanks while Giroud with his ariael presence & hold up play. Though it would be a crime to not include Pulisic who has being dangerous enough from the left side ... it is going to be an interesting call.  

Giroud with 29 PL goals. You heard it here first😄

You know what ... It is quite possible. Once the chemistry of the team is set, specially against the lower end teams (no disrespect to them) who would be sitting back will give us scope of hitting quite a few goals

What is going on with his injury update? does anyone have any information or are we starting the season with mount, RLC and CHO as our wingers?

Maybe no news is good news?

Matt Law sharing Sam Wallace's report mentions that Ziyech will miss the start of the season.

He did but I don't think the point was about Ziyech's injury.

Regarding Ziyech's injury in the Sam Wallace article, this is the line that was mentioned...

Ziyech was injured in last Saturday’s friendly against Brighton, a blow to his knee that will most likely rules him out the start of the season.

Maybe it's just me but that feels like a throwaway line in regard to the context of the entire article rather than anything specific on Ziyech's injury. Maybe he will miss the start of the season but if there's been news, one would think Goal, Guardian etc would have picked up on it. Let's see if he's in the training pics this coming week or if there's some actual updates. If not, we just gotta wait for Lampard's presser on Friday.

CHO isn't bad to be honest. But I had hoped we wouldn't see mount or RLC on the wings again. That is looking very likely now

3 at the back and Mount on wing should be banned for next season. No need for that anymore.

We could also play with Werner and CHO on the wings and Oli up front

Surely a week is enough to assess the damage?

The fact that the club hasn't released a statement should indicate that it is no major injury. It is possible though that he will miss the first few games I guess.

The club have never really released statements on a player's injury.

#22 confirmed for Ziyech...

fucking sucks! out for weeks at a minimum!

injuries are KILLING us the past 2 years

Kai Havertz is in line to make his Chelsea debut away to Brighton and Hove Albion on Monday night, with Christian Pulisic in contention after recovering from a hamstring injury.

There was less positive news regarding Hakim Ziyech, the new signing who injured a knee in the pre-season friendly away to Brighton last Saturday week. He could be absent for a prolonged spell with Frank Lampard saying that he is hopeful it is just a matter of weeks.

Pulisic's availablity is a boost. The American international tore a hamstring in the FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal at the beginning of August and the initial diagnosis suggested that he would miss the opening two games of the 2020/21 campaign.
