Frank Lampard insists he never doubted Jorginho's penalty acumen despite taking frontline spot-kick duties off Chelsea's vice-captain.
Blues boss Lampard hailed midfielder Jorginho's response to being replaced as first-choice penalty taker by Timo Werner, having missed two spot-kicks in succession against Liverpool and in Krasnodar.
The German has netted his only two spot-kicks against Rennes after taking over responsibilities last month and is Lampard's preferred taker for the time being.

Italy star Jorginho coolly converted a penalty to clamber second-string Chelsea to Tuesday's 1-1 Champions League draw against Krasnodar at Stamford Bridge, with his first spot-kick since his demotion from main duties as Werner watched from the bench before coming on for Kai Havertz after 74 minutes.
