Chelsea FC won the Champions League on Wednesday evening with convincing 4-0 figures from Sweden's Malmö FF. But afterwards, there was also cause for concern in the Blues' camp. Romelu Lukaku was forced to leave after 20 minutes after he became the victim of a nasty tackle.
Coach Thomas Tuchel had made it clear in the run-up to the match that Lukaku is both mentally and physically tired. Nevertheless, the German put him in the base to boost his confidence. But that turned out not to be a wise decision. Various studies will have to show how long the striker will be out of action. However, his reaction immediately after the tackle and the fact that he asked for his replacement do not bode well.
Lukaku's broker Federico Pastorello also holds his heart in conversation with Sky Sports. "I was very concerned. Lukaku is a player who always wants to play, not someone who makes a scene when it is not necessary. That he lay there for minutes proved that it was serious," the Italian is quoted by Het Laatste Nieuws.
In the longer term, Pastorello is not worried, however. Lukaku will do everything in his power to return even better. He even uses his own physiotherapist as a 'secret weapon'. "I'm sure he will come back stronger. He also has his own physiotherapist at home with whom he works very hard every night. Whatever date is set on his return ... he will return earlier anyway."
