were humbled by the news Romelu Lukaku will miss at least two to three weeks of action, after suffering an ankle injury in the Blues 4-0 victory against Malmo in the Champions League.
Lukaku was surprisingly started against the Swedish side by Thomas Tuchel, who had previously hinted the Belgian was in need of a rest.
But, the former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain manager instead opted to deploy what could be argued to be his strongest starting eleven.
Unfortunately, despite a brace of penalties by midfield general Jorginho, as well as goals from Andreas Christensen and Kai Havertz securing a routine victory, both Lukaku and Timo Werner limped off the pitch.
However, Lukaku’s absence, which could see him miss Chelsea ’s next five matches against Norwich City, Southampton, Newcastle, Malmo, and Burnley, will be a huge blow to the club.
