Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel would prefer to keep attackers Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner at the club.

According to the Evening Standard, Tuchel does not want to lose either of his versatile forwards.

The duo are not automatic starters this season, but the manager sees them as vital parts of the squad.

Tuchel does not want to make any big changes to his group until the summer, when Chelsea can adequately replace departing stars in the transfer market.

Ziyech and Werner may have to put their heads down and work to get more game time, as winter exits appear unlikely.
