Thomas Tuchel Sent Serious Warning Over Benching Timo Werner

Speaking on what might happen if Tuchel decides to bench Timo, Werner, Frank Leboeuf said to ESPN FC: “I’m afraid you [might] lose him for the rest of the season. He looked so done in Madrid, not scoring goals.”

“He keeps doing very interesting things; the assist that he gave, keeping the ball and winning a free-kick at the edge of the box in the Fulham win.”
