Another problem for Chelsea as record signing gets injured with Germany

Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea have been in a striker dilemma since their UEFA Champions League game against Malmö when their two recognised strikers Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner were injured.

The German manager has opted to use German attacker Kai Havertz as a makeshift striker since the two strikers got injured, a similar situation from last season when he was short of options up top. It yielded results as Havertz scored decisive goals including the UEFA Champions League winning goal.

Havertz opened the scoring for Chelsea against Burnley before Chelsea were pegged back to a 1-1 draw via a late equaliser. Even though Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are expected back fit for the game against Watford after the international break, having Havertz injured is no good for Chelsea.

The injury is expected not to be serious as it was just a muscle muscle contusion but if there's anything Thomas Tuchel needs it is not losing any of his players to injury in the international break as Chelsea face a busy schedule after the international break.
