Team news | Chelsea vs Spurs | Werner out for the rest of the season

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Timo Werner will miss the rest of the season.

The forward, who joined us on loan from RB Leipzig in January, was forced off after 30 minutes of Sunday's north London derby with him holding the back of his leg as he was replaced by Brennan Johnson.

And it has now been confirmed by our Head Coach that the Germany international has picked up a hamstring injury. Now with just a few weeks of the season remaining, it is not expected that the forward will be back in action before the campaign concludes.

Speaking to SPURSPLAY ahead of his press conference as we look ahead to Thursday's clash with Timo's former side Chelsea, Ange said: "Unfortunately, we've had a couple of issues from the last game. Timo with a hamstring (issue), so he'll miss the rest of the season. Obviously, with only three weeks to go, he won't be back."

Ange then confirmed Ben Davies' season is also over after he also picked up an injury in Sunday's clash with Arsenal.

Timo and Ben join long-term absentees Destiny Udogie (quadriceps), Manor Solomon (knee), Fraser Forster (foot) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring).
