Chelsea manager Tuchel confirms Ziyech unavailable for Luton

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed Hakim Ziyech will miss Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round clash with Luton Town.

The Moroccan playmaker was absent from Sunday's Carabao Cup final loss to Liverpool due to a injury.

And Tuchel has said Ziyech has not recovered in time for the trip to Kenilworth Road.

"Hakim is not available for tomorrow as he was not available for the final unfortunately," Tuchel said of Ziyech at a pre-match press conference.

"He still feels uncomfortable and was not in team training today so he's one of the guys who will miss the game tomorrow."
