Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel joked that he may try playing forwards Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku at wing back when they return from injury.

The Blues were without their two main forwards as they took on Newcastle United in the Premier League.

However, right back Reece James stepped up to the plate, scoring two cracking goals in a 3-0 win for the London club.

Tuchel joked post-game: "Maybe we need to try them [Lukaku and Werner] as wing-backs.

"It's a complex game and I think that Reecey [James] cannot score if Callum [Hudson-Odoi] does not do the dribbling, and maybe Callum cannot do the dribbling if Chilly [Chilwell] is not opening the space.

"I think we were dangerous on the first post with Kai [Havertz] in the middle of the goal with Ross [Barkley] and even on the second post with Ruben [Loftus-Cheek]."
