Chelsea news: Hakim Ziyech features in Morocco's World Cup clash against Belgium on Sunday afternoon

Hakim Ziyech has been named in Morocco's starting lineup for Sunday afternoon's clash against Belgium at the FIFA World Cup.

The 29-year-old started his nation's first group game in midweek that ended 0-0 with Croatia in Group F. Ziyech has struggled for minutes at Stamford Bridge so far this season, with speculation growing over a January exit.

Ziyech was asked about his Chelsea future by Dutch outlet NOS over a potential return to the Eredivisie in 2023, and he said, "It's hard to say, difficult to say. We don't know what will happen in the winter. It's football, so it's difficult to say."

Roberto Martinez's side beat Canada 1-0 in their group opener and could seal qualification with a positive result against Morocco at the Al Thumama Stadium.
