Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is suffering from a crisis of confidence and is actively avoiding the ball when he plays, according to Dean Saunders.
Lukaku is enduring a difficult spell at Chelsea, with both Timo Werner and Kai Havertz preferred by Thomas Tuchel. He has not started a Premier League game since February 19 and was once again left out of Tuchel’s starting line-up for the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
When he did come on as a substitute for Havertz in the 77th minute, it did not go well for the £97.5million man. He looked off the pace and somehow hit the post from six yards out with a simple chance from Werner’s pinpoint low cross late on.
