Chelsea have confirmed that forward Timo Werner amongst a few others have not travelled for the pre-season clash against Udinese as RB Leipzig rumours strengthen.
Werner, 26, has had his future in west London questioned after comments made during the pre-season tour of the United States clearly hit a nerve with manager Thomas Tuchel. "I'm surprised, I would be very happy as a young guy having a contract at Chelsea Football Club.
"I would be one of the happiest people on the planet." Since these comments came out, transfer speculation has rumbled on as all of Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have been linked to a move for the misfiring forward.
