Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech may not have got a goal or an assist against Newcastle at the weekend, but it was another very impressive display from the Moroccan.
The 27-year-old was full of creativity, dictating play with his passing, and was one of the standout performers on the day, along with Mason Mount and N’Golo Kante. The club’s official Twitter account shared an image of the player in the gym ahead of tomorrow’s game versus Rennes in the Champions League and fans were quick to respond to the photo:

The Blues are six points ahead of third in the group stage table so we may see manager Frank Lampard rotating the line up slightly, but supporters will be hoping Ziyech keeps his place in the starting eleven.
After missing the start of the season with a knee injury, the Moroccan international has hit the ground running since his return, scoring two goals and contributing three assists in eight appearances.
