Chelsea boss, Thomas Tuchel has dropped the club striker, Romelu Lukaku.
Gatekeepers News reports that Tuchel left out Lukaku from his squad to face Liverpool in the Premier League today.
The German took the decision after being angered by Lukaku’s interview earlier this week.
The striker had said he was not happy playing in the current system at Chelsea under Tuchel, adding that he wanted to return to Inter Milan.
Lukaku said he never wanted to return to Chelsea, adding that the west London club was only but his fourth choice.
‘Tuchel has chosen to play with another system – I won’t give up, I’ll be professional,” he said partly.
The Athletic reports now that Lukaku has not been included in Chelsea’s squad for Liverpool’s visit to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Liverpool is a point behind Chelsea in third place but has played one game less than the west London club.
