'No hugs or warm words can help Werner' - Tuchel says Chelsea star needs lucky break amid goal drought

Timo Werner is in need of a lucky break amid an ongoing goal drought, according to Thomas Tuchel, who says "no warm words" or "hugs" can help the Chelsea star.

Werner extended his scoreless run in the Premier League to 12 matches after drawing a blank during Chelsea's 2-0 win over Burnley on Sunday.

The Germany international squandered a number of good openings during the contest, which was only Tuchel's second in the dugout since replacing Frank Lampard, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso proving to be the match-winners for the hosts.
