Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel praised two-goal Jorginho after their 3-2 win at Leeds.
A late second penalty by the Italy midfielder won the game for Chelsea.
Tuchel said, "He's super important. Jorgi sacrifices himself since many weeks actually. I was aware that this moment would come where he would suffer because he played a Champions League campaign with us, the Euros with Italy and all the qualifiers to the World Cup.
"It's not only physical effort but also mentally very demanding and then he had no pre-season and started the Super Cup game straight away so I knew we would arrive at some point in the season where he feels his body not fully fit.
"He is aware of the situation that we miss Kovacic and N'Golo so he sacrificed himself and gives his very best every day. He spends hours and hours with the physios and medical department to get himself in the best shape possible so it was a big reward for him today because it's not easy to score two penalties in one game."
