Werner made his Primera División debut on 3 October 2015, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Arsenal.[2] In March 2016 he was chosen as a first-choice, as starter Germán Montoya was injured;[3] the latter subsequently moved to Belgrano.

In 2013, Werner was called up to Argentina under-17s for the year's FIFA U-17 World Cup, as a backup to Augusto Batalla.[5] He appeared in only one match in the tournament, a 1–4 loss against Sweden on 8 November.[6]
