Kai Havertz is the obvious contender to replace Jorginho as Chelsea's penalty taker with a 100 per cent record while Timo Werner is also an option... but Hakim Ziyech won't be near spot-kicks anytime soon

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard revealed he will talk to his players before deciding who will be the man with the responsibility to take penalties.

The Blues boss could make Timo Werner his new spot-kick taker after the £53million summer signing rifled in his effort from 12 yards in their 4-0 win against Krasnodar in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Werner stepped up in the absence of regular penalty taker Jorginho, who had been substituted, although the midfielder had also missed from the spot with the game goalless.

Jorginho, who deploys a hop-skip technique when standing over the ball, has now missed two penalties in his last four attempts.
