Thomas Tuchel recorded his first win as Chelsea manager after his side defeated Clarets 2-0, as Cesar Azpilicueta and Marco Alonso got the goals.
Ziyech played 80 minutes in the goalless draw against Wolverhampton last mid week.
Tuchel told BT Sport: "He [Ziyech] has been in a bit of overload since five weeks so he has a bit of a risk of getting injured if he plays more than say 30 minutes. For that, we decided to take a break now to go out of the risk zone."
Ziyech will hope that he is recalled for a crucial London derby encounter against Tottenham on Thursday, which comes three days before Chelsea are due to face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane before they travel to Barnsley in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Morocco international has now made 16 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions, scoring two goals and three assists
A very good decision, I like it that way
