Robin van Persie SLAMS Thomas Tuchel's management of Hakim Ziyech as the former Man United striker claims 'it can't be that difficult' to integrate Chelsea winger into line-up

Robin van Persie is baffled by Hakim Ziyech's struggles for game-time at Chelsea, with the Dutchman urging Thomas Tuchel to get the Moroccan involved.

The winger will be desperate for a starting place on Saturday when Chelsea line-up in Porto for the Champions League final, the biggest game of the 28-year-old's career.

Ziyech has shown flashes of his creative genius in blue but is a long way from nailing down a spot in Tuchel's XI, settling mostly for substitute appearances. He played just 25 minutes across both semi-final legs against Real Madrid.
