Tuchel lauds ‘fantastic’ Chelsea without Lukaku, Werner
Thomas Tuchel has been delighted with how the team have been coping without Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.
Both strikers suffered injuries in the Champions League clash with Malmo a month ago.
Despite their absence, Tuchel’s side are still top of the Premier League table and have reached the Champions League knockout stage.
Speaking of Tuesday’s clash with Juventus, Tuchel said: “We always had the options. It’s on the players.

When they are needed and when they have the chance to show their potential, they need to show it and they need to be ready. That’s life at Chelsea and this is what they do in a very impressive way.
“We always have options and when we play with Romelu we play with Romelu and when we play with Timo and when they are unavailable we try to find solutions, but that’s why we are here and that’s why we have a big squad.
“This is why we trust everybody because the guys know what it takes to play for Chelsea. We take care that the attention goes to the guys who are available and who are fit. For the injured players and the guys who are missing, they get our full attention to be as soon as possible back on the pitch.”
