Champions League Final - May possibly Timo Werner play for Chelsea
RB Leipzig
striker Timo Werner is reportedly ready to miss out the Champions League
restart in order to join Chelsea. The Champions League will reportedly return
in August with Lisbon hosting the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals in 12
days, according to a report from Sky Sports.
Leipzig have
cemented their place in the quarterfinals after defeating Tottenham Hotspur
back in March, but the Bundesliga club could play the rest of the competition
without their top scorer. Champions League fans can book Champions League Final Tickets on our

Werner who
has had four goals and two assists from eight appearances in the Champions
League this season should not be in Leipzig’s Champions League squad; said a
report from German outlet Bild. The report
added that the 24-year-old plans to join Chelsea as soon as Bundesliga finishes
at the end of this month.
The
Express ran
a story claiming Werner could play for Chelsea in the remaining Champions
League fixtures, as UEFA executives will have a meeting on Wednesday. Champions

The Blues
will have a difficult task ahead of them after the 3-0 home defeat against
Bayern Munich in February and need all the firepower they could have to have
any chance of qualifying to the quarterfinal.
The question
some may have been asking is ‘could Chelsea register him to play against Bayern
(assuming the transfer happens before August)?.It depends on the decision taken
in the UEFA meeting, but as it stands, no.
UEFA have
removed the ‘cup-tied’ rule from all European competitions in 2018, which
allows players to play in two different teams in the Champions League and the
Europa League.
This may
allow Werner to play for Chelsea despite already played for Leipzig, but the
Champions League also has a deadline for player registration which was
24:00 CET on Monday 3 February (UEFA’s
official website). A new decision could override this rule, of
course, but it seems unlikely.
