- Chelsea manager understood to be ‘livid’ about comments
- Kai Havertz could start if Belgium striker is omitted
Thomas Tuchel is considering whether to punish Romelu Lukaku for his explosive interview by dropping the striker for Chelsea’s home game against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
Lukaku is sweating on his place after he angered Tuchel by going public with his frustrations with life at Chelsea and saying he would like to return to Internazionale one day. There have been suggestions that the Belgian could even be left out entirely against Liverpool, though it remains to be seen whether he is part of the squad that takes on Jürgen Klopp’s side.
