Timo Werner admits he's fighting for his future at Chelsea.

Werner concedes he's dropped down the striker's pecking order since Romelu Lukaku's arrival.

But the Germany striker nsists he is motivated to fight for his place in the team.

"The last few weeks have been difficult," he said. "After many years, I was suddenly a little behind and had to fight my way again.

"A career always goes up and down, never steadily upwards, so you have to learn to deal with it.

"I have to bite into it again and that challenges me."
