Romelu Lukaku should look at Timo Werner for inspiration if he plays any part in Chelsea s FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace on Sunday, according to Blues boss Thomas Tuchel.
Werner has endured a largely difficult time at Stamford Bridge since arriving from RB Leipzig in June 2020, but he has shone in the past week.

Substitute Axel Tuanzebe saw an effort ruled out during an insipid second half, though it mattered little in the end as United booked their p…
