Chelsea manager Frank Lampard lamented the absence of wingers Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech that left the Premier League club bereft of creativity in Saturday s 1-0 defeat at Everton.
Moroccan Ziyech missed the trip to Goodison Park due to a hamstring injury he sustained in the 3-1 victory against Leeds United this month, while American Pulisic was left out of the side as a precaution. Pulisic was uncomfortable during the week so he couldn t play, Lampard told reporters, adding that the congested schedule was taking a toll on the league s attacking players.
