According to the latest news from David Ornstein, a well-known journalist at The Athletic, Lukaku was excluded from Chelsea's big list against Liverpool in this round, due to private interviews and inappropriate speech, which was abandoned by the team.
Lukaku had previously given a private interview to Sky Sports Italy, where he made a series of remarks that disappointed Chelsea clubs. Chelsea boss Tuchel said at a pre-match press conference: "I don't like those words, it brings unnecessary noise and it's easy to take people out of context. ”
Lukaku returned to Chelsea for 115 million euros this summer and has played 18 games for the Blues in all competitions so far this season, scoring seven goals and assisting two assists. Lukaku, who recently suffered from an ankle injury and coronavirus, just resumed training last week and will once again miss out on this round.
