Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has confirmed that Edouard Mendy will miss the Blues encounter with Southampton on Saturday, but Hakim Ziyech is ready to make his debut for the club.
Goalkeeper Mendy suffered a thigh injury while away with Senegal in the match against Ziyech’s Morocco, which was the winger’s first competitive game since injuring his knee in a pre-season friendly with Brighton.
