According to former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson, Timo Werner will be hoping to line up against Harry Maguire when Chelsea go away to Manchester United this evening.

Johnson told Optus Sport: “If I’m Timo Werner, I’d be like, ‘Please play [Maguire]!’, I really would.

“I think he would be an absolute nightmare for him.

“But I agree, in the bigger picture, it’s hard to leave your captain out and obviously he’s a big player for them.

“But on that last performance, if I’m [Axel] Tuanzebe, I’d be thinking: ‘Why aren’t I playing?’”
