Thomas Tuchel has admitted that Chelsea's possession-heavy style of football may be holding Timo Werner back. 'A game like against Atletico, is there any team out there in the world that can close spaces like Atletico? 'There are also solutions in tight spaces to use his speed in the first metres, to use his acceleration. It is why I am very patient and very supportive and I believe in his potential and character and of course his goalscoring skills.' Two goals in his next three league games against Burnley and Sheffield United suggested he was adapting quickly to the demands of England's top flight.
