The Stamford Bridge flop has been ruled out for the rest of 2022. An RB Leipzig statement said: "Timo Werner suffered an ankle injury last night in the win over Shakhtar Donetsk. "Scans today in Leipzig showed that he has unfortunately torn the syndesmosis ligament in his left ankle and will therefore be out for the rest of 2022."
