Frank Lampard to integrate Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech to Chelsea training
According to the Independent, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is keen on integrating Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner into Chelsea training.
The duo is set to move to Stamford Bridge after Chelsea beat off rivals to the highly coveted duo. They will, however, be ineligible to take part in our remaining fixtures this season. The earliest they can don their blue jersey is next season.
As Liverpool and Manchester City have shown over the last two seasons, every point matters in the English Premier League. It is imperative that we ensure that the duo hit the ground running.
Bring incorporated into the training sessions will clearly help achieve that goal. With a lot still to be played for, our players will also benefit from going up against these world-class stars.
Ziyech has not played since the Dutch league was cancelled. Ensuring that he is up to speed when it comes to match fitness is of utmost importance.
Lampard said (h/t Independent):
“We will formulate a plan for them that will look slightly different individually.”
“Whether that means mixing with the squad or whether that means some physical work in the shorter term for themselves.”
The Blues wasted no time in securing two of the sought after players in European football. This infusion of fresh blood will give us the edge over our rivals while it will also help us close the gap to the top.
Lampard understands the importance of getting the duo up to speed. He is keen to ensure that fitness and freshness levels for next season are attained.

By easing the duo into the Chelsea system, we will steal a march on our rivals. By the time next season rolls around, both Werner and Ziyech will already be familiar with the way we play.
The fact that we can get the bedding-in period out of the way should give us a competitive advantage on the pitch.
