Werner reacts to new nickname given to him

Werner reacts to new nickname given to him Even with his first official goal for Chelsea yet to come, Chelsea new boy Timo Werner hasn’t felt anything other than love since arriving at Stamford Bridge. It just leaves you imagining how of it he would be when he starts banging in the goals. Werner has now reacted after he just recently found out he’s been given a new nickname ‘Turbo Timo’ after his move to Chelsea. The name is actually relative to his pacy style of play as he stands out as a new breed of striker, something different from what we are used to. ‘ I only heard it recently for the first time, he admitted. I was a little bit surprised but Turbo Timo is not the worst nickname for me. Hopefully I can show people that it suits me’. Werner is obviously in line to feature for the blues on Sunday when they face premier league champions, Liverpool as he’s expected to have shaken off the knock he picked up against Brighton and Hove Albion.

 Werner Leads The Line, Kovacic Set To Return | Predicted 4-3-3 Chelsea Lineup Vs Liverpool Premier League giants Chelsea will be looking to pick up their first home victory of the new season when they welcome reigning champions Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening. The Blues are coming into this fixture on the back of a hard-fought 3-1 victory against Brighton and Hove Albion, where they were perhaps fortunate with the end result. Despite finishing the night with all three points, the London club weren’t at their expected best that evening. It took a Jorginho penalty to give them the lead in the first half before a bullet strike by Reece James added a second. Kurt Zouma scored the third from a set-piece to ease the pressure, but by no means was it a walk in the park for Chelsea. Liverpool didn’t have it easy on the opening weekend either, as they were forced to come back from behind in three separate occasions by newly-promoted Leeds United. Despite this, the 5-3 win tow...
