Romelu Lukaku ‘has been dropped entirely’ from Chelsea’s squad to face Liverpool on Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge.
Blues boss Thomas Tuchel has reportedly left the Belgian striker out after he gave an interview in which he expressed unhappiness with his role at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel did not hide his irritation that £98million striker Lukaku had gone public with his displeasure and said he would hold ‘behind closed doors talks’ to sort out the situation.

But, according to The Athletic, Lukaku has been left out of the Chelsea squad for the crunch top-of-the-table clash as a consequence.
“Physically I am fine. But I’m not happy with the situation at Chelsea,” Lukaku told Sky in Italy.
“Tuchel has chosen to play with another system – I won’t give up, I’ll be professional. I am not happy with the situation but I am professional – and I can’t give up now.’
Chelsea’s record signing has scored in his last two games against Aston Villa and Brighton having returned to the side following an ankle injury and a bout of Covid-19.
But he will apparently play no part in a match against fellow title hopefuls Liverpool that neither side can afford to lose.
Leaders Manchester City moved 11 points clear of Chelsea with their 2-1 win at Arsenal on New Year’s Day.

This is what happens to people who fail ro learn from experience and history. U had a first hand bad experience in your first stint at the club but your foolish ignorance of your past experience and to a large extent history has made u make the same mistake again with the expected consequences. Same applies to the nff with their romance with rohr. Stop complaining and face it! U were having a good time at Milan until money and foolishness made u lose common sense
Always making senseless points. Milan sold him because of financial difficulties they were experiencing, same reasons Conte left as well. They needed to cut down some high wages also
Lukaku only has himself to blamed for him being dropped. He should learn how to talk. Clubsides can discipline any player regardless of his status with Aubameyang as a case study
Not super eagles(except north africans teams) where one returnee still arrived late to camp and played a match
Does it make sense to you that a club would want to sell one of their best strikers of the season if not the best bcs of financial difficulties? Do you know that inter never wanted him to leave except for his insistence to return to chelsea after a record amount was thrown at him by Chelsea? Do you know that he was reminded of his past history at chelsea by inter before he made move??? This clearly shows u are a senseless miserable olosho. Get your facts right before u come here to disgrace urself.
…read this and see why he left milan@chinenye. Don’t come here and blab like a miserable olosho. Get your facts right. That the problem with most of you group of knuckle heads (odegbami, jimmyball, omo9ja, ugwunze and co)
You’re really a good for nothing degenerate and a social media tout.
Inter had financial difficulty hence lukaku was sold to raise some fund. Conte left as well because inter couldn’t continue spending huge to meet his expectations.
Olosho depicts your mother and sisters. As a matter of fact, your sister lost her womb through series of abortions no thanks to her olosho business
If not you’re an internet tout with stretch marks on your brain, you would have known by now Lukaku is double mouthed fellow who says one thing and does the opposite
@Oakfield you urgently need a brain transplant
