After bad games in the Chelsea jersey, Romelu Lukaku lost the trust of Thomas Tuchel, and after he started the Champions League match against Lille on the bench, the Belgian striker is worried that he will watch the upcoming cup final from the bench.
Lukaku set a negative record in the Premier League match against Crystal Palace when he touched the ball only seven times in the match. This was followed by Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel moving the Belgian to the bench, and Kai Haverz, who led the attack in his place in the Blues’ triumph against Lille in the Champions League, scored in the eighth minute.
According to the British “Telegraph”, the former Inter player is worried that the same situation will happen again on Sunday when Chelsea will compete with Liverpool in the League Cup final.
The legendary Arsenal striker, former assistant coach of the Belgian national team, Thierry Henry, commented on the whole situation.
– The first time I heard that he would sign for Chelsea, I had dilemmas about whether he would fit in there. They like to play pressing, attackers are constantly changing positions among themselves, so it will take time for him to get used to such a game, but my question is – Why did you buy it? Said, Henry.
Lukaku will try to convince the German expert that he deserves a place in the starting lineup before Chelsea arrives at Wembley, while Tuchel is currently closer to opting for the same attacking trio that started the match against the French team.
Chelsea and Liverpool play the English League Cup final on Sunday, from 17:30.
