Romelu Lukaku has distanced himself from Federico Pastorello after his agent claimed there is a "problem" for the often-overlooked striker at Chelsea.
Lukaku, 29, returned to Stamford Bridge in a club-record £97.5million transfer from Inter Milan last summer but has only started 15 Premier League games this season. Thomas Tuchel has frequently preferred other options to lead the line, prompting the Belgian to confess he is "not happy" with the Blues during a no-holds-barred interview in December.
While Tuchel and Lukaku drew a line under the incident, minutes have continued to prove hard to come by for the former Everton and Manchester United frontman. He has started Chelsea's last two games, scoring three times, but was benched for the previous three and has only managed a total of eight goals in the top flight this season.
