Thomas Tuchel dropped a big hint that Romelu Lukaku could be in for a rare start for Chelsea in their Premier League clash with Wolves on Saturday afternoon. The Belgian striker has not started for the Blues in the top-flight since last month's 4-2 defeat to Arsenal.
Lukaku was signed for a club-record fee of £97.5million in August 2021, returning to Stamford Bridge after a prolific spell with Inter Milan. The 28-year-old fired the Italian outfit to the Serie A title, and on his return to Chelsea, there was a massive expectation that the Belgian could be the missing ingredient for the club to mount a serious title challenge.
However, that has not been the case, with Lukaku scoring just five times in the Premier League this season. Plenty has been said about Lukaku, and his future with the club and speculation was fuelled after he was left on the bench despite his side being desperate for a goal in the 1-0 defeat to Everton last weekend.
