Chelsea's stance on selling Timo Werner after fan abuses him on stadium tannoy
Chelsea have no intention of selling Timo Werner - despite the Blues star being heckled by a fan.
Werner faces renewed competition for his place after the signing of £97.5m striker Romelu Lukaku, who was unveiled by the club yesterday.
But an open training session featuring the pair earlier in the day was hijacked by a Chelsea fan who delivered an embarrassingly blunt message to Werner.
Interviewed by club presenters over the Stamford Bridge PA system, he said: “Listen, I've got a word. Let's have it. Get Werner out the club.”
That prompted a chorus of boos from supporters around him, with one fan yelling back: “You get out! Who are you? Who do you you think you are?”
It is unclear whether Germany star Werner, a £48m buy last summer, heard the comment.
