Leipzig's Werner has no regrets over Chelsea departure

Speaking ahead of Leipzig's home match with table-topping Bayern on Friday, Werner - who won the 2021 Champions League with Chelsea - told Germany's Sportbild "I think the path you take is always the right one in the end." Werner moved to Chelsea in 2020 for a reported fee of 53 million euros as one of Europe's hottest striking prospects, having scored 34 times with 13 assists in 45 competitive fixtures with Leipzig in 2019-20.

Werner had opted for Chelsea ahead of Bayern,  but spent two unhappy seasons in London before returning to Leipzig last August. "Up until now, I would have had two coaches at Bayern who would have been very good for me: Hansi Flick, with whom I get on well, and Julian Nagelsmann, my former coach at RB. "But I think it's a better idea not to regret it."
