Unfortunately his night came to an early end. Ziyech was forced off early in the second half with an injury. Lampard has since confirmed that he suffered a slight knock on the knee. (h/t Daily Mail)

“He’s got a bit of a knock on his knee, a small twist which we will have to assess. Hopefully it’s not too bad.”

Ziyech received treatment as he stayed down before hobbling off the pitch gingerly. Youngster Conor Gallagher came on in his place.

French striker Olivier Giroud also had to leave the game prematurely with an injury. He required treatment and a bandage for a cut to his head after colliding with Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

With out first game of the season just a fortnight away, Lampard will hope the two stars will recover in time to play a part.

“He was sharp and bright and showed the qualities we know he has.”
