Frank Lampard has told Timo Werner the only way out of his Premier League goal drought is to "keep working" and by "getting back on the training pitch".
Werner, 24, has not scored in the top flight for well over two months and endured another frustrating evening as Chelsea travelled to Fulham on Saturday evening.
The German forward came off the bench and was presented with a golden opportunity to put the Blues 2-0 up, but fired well wide when played through on goal.
Lampard is confident the goals will come for the £47.5million summer signing and insisted he was "delighted" with Werner's incisive running.
Quizzed on whether Chelsea's No.11 is lacking confidence, Lampard told Sky Sports : "I don’t know.
"I think it’s normal, I think if you don’t score as regularly as you want, he scored last week in the FA Cup.
"But those are goals I’ve seen him score many a time. His bread and butter is going through like that and scoring and it happens.
"He has to just keep working, it’s the only way out of it. We’ve all been there if you’re a goalscorer or a striker.
"Everyone will say the same, get back on the training pitch, [be] pleased you’re getting in there, go again.
"It’ll go in for him because he’s high quality. I was delighted to see him to get through [on goal].
"He likes to be in those positions, we’re getting him in positions there when he came on and he will score."
Lampard reserved praise for the match-winner Mason Mount, adding: "Mason I thought was outstanding in the game so he deserves the accolades of how he played.
"He needs to score more goals, Mason. He knows that. But his quality is brilliant and his attitude is brilliant, so he deserves it."
