Frank Lampard plays down Timo Werner fitness concerns ahead of Liverpool clash

The striker was injured as Chelsea opened their season with a 3-1 victory at Brighton.

Frank Lampard has backed “real threat” Timo Werner to shake off a dead leg to be fit in time to face Liverpool on Sunday.

Germany hitman Werner impressed on his Premier League debut, winning a penalty as Chelsea eased past Brighton 3-1 at the Amex Stadium.

Jorginho converted the spot-kick that Werner won, with Reece James blasting a fine strike into the top corner and Kurt Zouma adding the third.

Deflated Brighton boss Graham Potter admitted hoping that injuries to Adam Lallana and Ben White do not wind up too serious.

“I’m not sure, I don’t think Adam’s that bad, but I’m probably guessing; it’s more cramping hopefully,” said Potter.

“Hopefully Ben’s not too bad with his ankle either, hopefully it just needs 24 hours to settle down.

“The margins we need to turn, that’s the challenge. I thought we played well overall, matched Chelsea quite well, especially in the first half.

“We more than deserved the equaliser I think but then it was a bit of game management where we got punished for the second. It took the wind out of us a little bit. It’s disappointing to concede three goals overall, and that’s the thing we’re most disappointed with.”
