RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is planning to use Timo Werner in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Chelsea are on the verge of signing Werner for next season, and reports in the UK have claimed the Germany international does not want to risk injury by playing for Leipzig in Europe, with the final knockout rounds expected to take place in August.

However, Nagelsmann will continue to plan for the 24-year-old to be part of his team until the deal is completed.

"He is currently, as usual, in my plans to play the Champions League. He is our player and has not signed for anyone else," said Nagelsmann.

"His importance to RB Leipzig is extraordinary. He has an incredibly good goalscoring rate, which you always hope for from a striker."

On the deal with the Blues, Nagelsmann added: "Then both parties will sit down and see what happens next. There are no regulations at the moment."
