Awesome!’ – Chelsea fans go nuts over what Timo Werner did in training ahead of Brighton clash

Chelsea are preparing for their first Premier League game of the season against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Frank Lampard takes his side to the Amex Stadium, looking to earn three points and make the perfect start to the 2020/21 campaign.

The Blues will want to build upon last season, where they finished fourth in the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final, and have already demonstrated their intent with a number of high quality signings in the transfer window.

Hakim Ziyech has arrived from Ajax, whilst the Blues broke the club transfer record to land Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen.

At the back, Lampard has strengthened with the additions of Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva, whilst Malang Sarr joined on a free transfer, but is expected to be loaned out for the season.

A goalkeeper is also on the agenda, with talks at an advanced stage with Rennes over goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

One of Chelsea’s first signings of the summer was Timo Werner, who agreed a move from RB Leipzig in early June whilst the restarted season was still ongoing.

The Germany striker has established himself as one of the elite strikers in Europe with his displays in the Bundesliga and at international level, scoring 28 goals in 34 league appearances last season.

Werner is expected to make his full Chelsea debut at the Amex on Monday evening, and ahead of the game, the Blues posted a video of the striker in training

.

The clip showed Werner burying shots from all angles, with both feet, and many left the goalkeeper with no chance.

Fans took to Reddit

to hail the striker, and express their excitement to watch him in action.

One wrote: “This new training video demonstrating our new No. 11 has certainly got me confident that we’ll see out a great win at Brighton. Can’t wait to see what a full-strength starting 11 will do during the campaign, particularly as partnerships develop. Expect some fine goals if Werner keeps up his training form! ”

Another posted: “Awesome video, I can’t wait for Monday.”

Along with Werner, Chelsea are expected to have Christian Pulisic available for selection, after the winger recovered quicker than expected from a hamstring injury.

Speaking ahead of the game, Lampard confirmed the USA international and club captain Cesar Azpilicueta were both in contention to play.

“Yeah I am very happy to have them both back,” he said. “They both trained since yesterday, their first day fully training with the team. They are in contention for Monday.

“I have to be careful. I have a squad to pick from, but the way they are training and the attitude they have come back with looks like they are over those injuries.

“I will just have to make sure I manage them back in in their own ways.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
