The former RB Leipzig striker signed with Chelsea this summer.
If he hadn't rushed to sign with the Premier League team, Werner could have played in the quarterfinals of the League against Atletico Madrid, but the transfer to Chelsea made him give up this option. Werner officially became the London player on July 1.
"Of course it hurts me that I will not be able to help RB Leipzig in the Champions League, but from July 1 I became Chelsea's player, I am paid by my new club so I have no choice. It was clear from the beginning that we will have to agree on this aspect, and my agent negotiated with the two clubs and this was the conclusion reached ", the German offered the sports updates for Sportbuzzer.
The problem for Timo Werner is represented by Chelsea's situation in the championship, where Lampard's team is going through a not very happy period. After the two defeats against West Ham United (2-3) and Sheffield United (0-3), the team from Stamford Bridge has emotions regarding the ranking in the first 4. If it fails to finish above the 5th place, Chelsea will rate present in the next edition of the Champions League.
At the moment, the Londoners are on the 3rd place, but a victory of Manchester United can take it on the 4th place. Nearby is also Leicester, which has only one point less. Lampard's team's schedule is not easy at all, as in the last three games they will have to face both Liverpool and Wolverhampton.
The situation was exacerbated by the TAS decision, which won over Manchester City in the dispute that Guardiola's men had with UEFA. The European forum had imposed a two-season suspension from European competitions for City, but this was canceled at TAS, so that De Bruyne and his colleagues will be able to play in the next edition of UCL. In this case, the 5th place no longer ensures the participation in UCL, as it would have happened if City remained suspended, and the team that will finish in this position will play in the Europa League.
