Wesley Sneijder is shocked by the injury of Hakim Ziyech. The analyst said at halftime of the game between Chelsea and Villarreal (1-0) that he suspects that “something is wrong” with Ziyech’s shoulder or arm. The attacking midfielder went to the ground in the 39th minute when he appeared to twist his shoulder unhappily after a header duel with Juan Foyth.
“I think his arm stays behind Juan Foyth,” Sneijder responds. “Whether it’s a dislocated shoulder or a collarbone injury, I don’t know. But it is in any case very wrong, because he does not just go out. You also immediately see that his arm is hanging. I really feel sorry for him. It’s an unfortunate moment.”

“It’s just a shame,” Sneijder continues. “He was so important in Chelsea’s preparation. You see it again now. It doesn’t hit him quite right, but he was there at the right time. This is really very unfortunate,” said the analyst, who then also takes a closer look at the opening goal of the Moroccan international.

“Whether it is a ‘consciousness’? No dude, I think he hits him all wrong, because he hits him a little too high. But that doesn’t matter: he was in it. We haven’t actually seen him up to this point, but after that it became his game,” said Sneijder. Jan Boskamp adds: “After that he really started playing football. At first his balls were a bit long on the road. But when he scored that goal, he suddenly started putting them all over the place.”
