Lukaku will not be able to avoid the penalty in the form of absence from the starting lineup of Chelsea in the match against Liverpool.
Namely, according to the British media, the Blues striker will almost certainly pay the guild for his recent statement that he is dissatisfied with his status in the club.
Recall, the Belgian admitted that the game system of Thomas Tuchel does not suit him and that this is the reason why he did not fully adapt to the environment that he arrived in from Inter.
Lukaku’s statement was not liked by the German strategist who made the decision to punish the center forward and not include him in the lineup for Sunday’s match against Liverpool.
Lukaku’s New Year’s interview for Sky Sports resonated with the football world, and the words of the attackers were characterized in the club as indisciplined, especially because the media conversation was not approved by the Chelsea leader.
“How am I at the moment? Good. Physically even better than before. After two years in Italy where I worked a lot with fitness trainers and nutritionists, I feel very good physically. But I am not satisfied with the situation at the club. I think the coach chose to play with some other system. I can’t give up. I have to act and work like a professional. I say I am not satisfied, but I am a worker and I must not allow myself to surrender “, said Lukaku
Despite the fact that the upcoming match at Stamford Bridge is one of the crucial ones in the fight for the top from the perspective of both clubs, considering that Manchester City has already separated to a double-digit advantage, Tuhel set aside the importance of the match in relation to disciplinary measures.
