Thomas Tuchel confirmed Chelsea face a period without Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner after the Champions League holders were rocked by their forwards' injury problems in Wednesday's 4-0 win against Malmo.

But Chelsea’s second Group H victory, after losing to Juventus in their previous match, was significantly tarnished by the ankle injury suffered by Belgium striker Lukaku and a hamstring issue for Germany forward Werner. “The two were in good shape, they are dangerous and can create and score so we need to find solutions and guys who waited for their chance need to step up and score,” Tuchel said.

Tuchel admitted this week that Lukaku has suffered from mental and physical fatigue amid a draining schedule for club and country. While Werner has endured another difficult season, his injury will leave Havertz as Tuchel’s only experienced option for the central striker’s role. Jorginho took the penalty and altered his usual hop-step technique to drive a powerful strike past Dahlin for his first goal this season.
