Timo Werner has returned to Leipzig after not quite succeeding at Chelsea and now he explained on the Kroos brothers’ podcast ‘Einfach mal Luppen’ why he decided to leave the Stamford Bridge team.

“The reason is because I stopped playing regularly. I think the game system of the coach (Thomas Tuchel) is not very good for me. It was clear to me that I had to take a new step. I’m at an age where I want to play as much as possible. Chelsea is my greatest achievement and will always be a special club for me. I will continue to be in touch with many of my former teammates, but I have to change,” Werner added.
