Hakim Ziyech will miss Chelsea’s Champions League encounter against AC Milan on Wednesday owing to a sore throat, according to manager Graham Porter.
The Uefa Champions League match between the Blues and the Serie A team was scheduled for Wednesday, but the Moroccan international was one of the players that remained in London.
N’Golo Kante, a midfielder, and Wesley Fofana, a defender, are two more players who will not play in the midweek meeting at the San Siro.

Hakim has a sore throat, which is why he hasn’t traveled, according to Potter, who was quoted on the club’s website.
Fofana will be sidelined for a few weeks due to a knee injury, according to the tactician, but he should recover in time for the World Cup break.
This season, Ziyech has not been frequently utilized. He has only played three times in the Premier League, two of which were as a substitute. He did not feature in Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over Wolves at the weekend and only appeared for five minutes against the Serie A champions last week.
He has played twice in the Champions League, but has not yet made a start.
Ziyech participated in nine Champions League games and 23 league games for Chelsea last season, appearing in both competitions and contributing an equal number of assists and goals.
When Chelsea plays Aston Villa in the English top division on Sunday, Ziyech might be available again.
