Germany coach Low defends bench role for Chelsea striker Werner

Germany coach Jogi Low insists Chelsea striker Timo Werner remains a big part of his plans.

Werner has been played off the bench in both their World Cup qualifiers so far this week.

But Low says: "After the Iceland game it was clear that we would play again with the same line-up.

“Timo is a very dangerous player who is incredibly fast. Even if he has not played two games with us from the start, we know what he can do."

Low also told BILD: “I'm very satisfied with Timo. Logically he'll get his chance again, possibly on Wednesday (against Macedonia)."
