Chelsea Have to Stage Real Madrid Comeback without Lukaku

Chelsea Have to Stage Real Madrid Comeback without Lukaku

London, Chelsea will travel to Spain today without Romelu Lukaku, as the Belgian striker has been ruled out of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid through injury.

The Belgian striker is unavailable after not featuring in his side’s 6-0 victory over Southampton last Saturday due to Achilles pain.

Lukaku joins Callum Hudson-Odoi on the sidelines, but one man who is fit to return is Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Chelsea captain missed the Southampton fixture after testing positive for COVID-19.

However, he has since returned a negative test and has rejoined the squad ahead of their flight to Madrid, the Spanish MARCA newspaper reported.
