Liverpool target Timo Werner was largely anonymous on a difficult day at the office for Red Bull Leipzig's star striker against Hertha Berlin

For a player in red hot form, both from the weekend and in the wider schism of the 2019-20 season, it was a somewhat quiet performance by Red Bull Leipzig's star striker Timo Werner on Wednesday.

The Liverpool target, who has a release clause in the region of £52m in his contract, scored a hat-trick on Sunday against Mainz, demonstrating his clinical finishing and excellent positional instincts in the box.

However, in a game where visitors to the Red Bull Arena Hertha Berlin more than matched Julian Nagelsmann's side in a 2-2 draw, Werner struggled to impact the contest going forward on a difficult afternoon for Leipzig's number 11 and his team.
