Chelsea keeper Mendy’s injury a ‘little hitch’
Edouard Mendy has described his injury as a “little hitch”.
Chelsea’s new goalkeeper recently picked up a thigh problem while on international duty with Senegal.
He returned to London and has been assessed by Chelsea, who will return to Premier League action against Southampton on Saturday.
In a post on Instagram, Mendy wrote: “A little hitch, I’m going to do everything I can to come back faster and stronger. Thank you all for your messages.”
Meanwhile, Hakim Ziyech has withdrawn from Morocco’s squad after his recent return to action.
Chelsea and The Royal Moroccan Football Federation have agreed that he should return to his club for training.
Ziyech is yet to make a competitive appearance for Chelsea since arriving from Ajax.
He suffered a knee injury during a pre-season friendly against Brighton but returned to training before it was agreed he would go on international duty.
He played just over half an hour of Morocco’s 3-1 win over Senegal on Friday. But he will not be involved in Tuesday’s friendly against DR Congo.
Chelsea hope he will be in their squad for the Southampton game.
