UCL: 2 Chelsea players blamed for defeat to Zagreb

Chelsea returned to action on Tuesday night in the Uefa Champions League where they faced Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.

The game ended in a 1-0 defeat and two Chelsea players have been blamed for it.

Mislav Orsic scored the lone goal of the match in the first half as the hosts won all three points.

Speaking in the BT Sport studio, former England midfielder Joe Cole named the players responsible.

Cole listed the two players as Chelsea summer signing Kalidou Koulibaly Italian side Napoli and Halim Ziyech.

While he said Koulibalu lacked speed, Cole said Ziyech was not clicking for Chelsea.

“Kalidou Koulibaly needs to get up to speed, playing in the Champions League and Premier League, as quickly as possible,” he said.

“[Hakim] Ziyech has a lot of talent, but for whatever reason he’s not clicking for Chelsea,” Cole added.

Thomas Tuchel’s men will now focus on their next against Fulham next in the English Premier League this Saturday as they hope to bounce back.
