‘Is time to unleash the forgotten man’ – Chris Sutton tells Tuchel to start Chelsea star
Chelsea lose 3-1 to Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge last Wednesday.
However, Timo Werner missed the first leg clash against Real Madrid, but Werner looked like a different player over the weekend against Southampton, as he scored a brace and hit the post three times, in what was a very electric performance.
Meanwhile, Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has urged Blues boss Thomas Tuchel to unleash Werner on Real Madrid, as he believes that the pace of the German could cause problems for Real Madrid’s backline.
Sutton told the Daily Mail: “Following their loss at home to Real Madrid last week, Chelsea need to sort a number of things should they want to have any chance of getting back into the tie.”
“Firstly, they cannot allow Karim Benzema to torment them like he was able to last week. His movement caused the Chelsea backline all sorts of bother.
“With Romelu Lukaku not even in the squad, it is time for Chelsea to unleash the forgotten man Timo Werner. His pace and movement can combine well with the guile of Kai Havertz to cause Real Madrid plenty of issues.
“Despite not trusting him defensively, Thomas Tuchel would be wise to call upon Marcos Alonso who can provide the European champions with an extra dimension going forward.”
