Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is confident the presence of Romelu Lukaku will be good for Timo Werner.

Tuchel is convinced Lukaku can take the pressure off Werner on and away from the pitch.

"I truly believe that this can be a big upgrade for him [Werner]," said Tuchel.

"Having the attention on Romelu, who likes to be in the centre of the pitch and to fight physically with defenders, can create space for Timo. He can play a bit wider than he used to play for us last season.

"And to play around Romelu, who is like the reference as a No9 and in the attack, he hopefully gives Timo the freedom and the space to play around him and to feel that it's easier to find more dangerous spaces and start scoring again."
