Further doubt has been cast over the future of Timo Werner following Chelsea's pre-season clash with Charlotte FC. The 26-year-old, who was omitted from Thomas Tuchel's squad for the bout due to injury, has faced an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge after failing to cement a first-team role in west London.
Werner, who sees his contract at the club expire in 2025, has featured 37 times for the Blues in Premier League since Tuchel took over from Frank Lampard, directly contributing towards just eleven goals. The Germany international has struggled to justify minutes and has been heavily linked with an exit.
And, with a potential move on the cards amid thin interest in the striker, he's already admitted that he could 'be happy everywhere'. Werner has also made it clear that, despite his misfortune since penning a deal at Chelsea two years ago, he's intent on working himself into Tuchel's plan.
