The 28-year-old footballer, who has scored in both of Chelsea’s last two championships, told one of the Italian TV channels without the club’s permission, saying he was unhappy with his position on Stamford Bridge and would love to return to the Inter.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel did not take a good look at the interview on Sky Italy on Thursday, but it was recorded earlier, and he also voiced it at a press conference for the match against Liverpool.
I did not like. However, I don’t want to make a bigger thing out of it than it is. It is easy to take sentences out of context
Said the German expert, adding that he would clarify the matter face-to-face with Lukaku.
The Athletic have been informed that the Belgian striker – who was certified by Chelsea this summer for € 115 million from Inter – will not be there in the frame against Sunday (17:30) against Liverpool. The London Blues are second on the table, with an advantage of just one point over Liverpool and 11 points behind list leader Manchester City. Lukaku’s absence will certainly be felt against the Pool: the Belgian national forward will hold 7 goals and 2 assists in 18 matches this season.
As we reported, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp will not be there at Stamford Bridge on Sunday as he catches the corona virus.
