Timo Werner thanked Chelsea fans for rallying to him after being ordered to ‘leave the club’ by a fan during an open training session.
Chelsea players were put to the test at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, with those present also having their first glimpse of striker Romelu Lukaku since joining the club last week.
But the event was somewhat overshadowed in a question-and-answer session with fans when one urged Werner to leave the club.
The comment was made over the public address system and elicited an angry reaction from others in the stands.
Werner was then inundated with positive social media posts and expressed his gratitude to those who contacted him.
“Thank you for all the love and support I received today Blues fans! I really appreciate it,” he posted on his personal Twitter account.
Werner has been regularly the target of criticism during his 14 months at Chelsea, although he had double the goals and assists last season.
This made him the first Blues player since Eden Hazard in 2018-19 to do so, although his 12 goals in 51 games were a substantial drop from the 34 made in 45 appearances for RB Leipzig in the campaign. former.
Werner also had a rather disappointing start to the new Premier League season last weekend, as he only had 29 touches of the ball in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace which was the smallest of all Chelsea starters.
