Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed he is responsible for Hakim Ziyech’s lack of game time at the club.

The 27-year-old teamed up with the Stamford Bridge outfit last summer from Dutch club Ajax but has struggled to make an impact with the Blues due to injury problems and other factors.

The Morocco international has made 19 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea since his arrival and under Tuchel, the forward has only played two games.
