​Chelsea boss Tuchel confirms Werner avaliable for Juventus - but Havertz in doubt

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has provided a fitness update regarding attackers Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.

The Blues manager confirmed that Werne, along with midfielder Jorginho, should be fit for their Champions League clash against Juventus on Tuesday.

However, he stated that fellow German attacker Havertz is a doubt for the game, while suggesting that Mateo Kovacic would also miss out.

"Jorgi is absolutely okay," Tuchel told the club website.

"We had to take Kai off because of hamstring problems. He felt a bit of tension in the hamstrings, so we took him off and we have some doubts with him. We need to check and see if he can train without any problems, so this is more or less the question mark.

"Timo feels good, he was in training yesterday, he's back in the squad again, and Mateo Kovacic is still out."
