‘Crazy’ Romelu Lukaku told he owes Chelsea huge apology with Granovskaia punishment likely Romelu Lukaku must apologise to Chelsea for showing Thomas Tuchel such big disrespect amid claims he faces something of a ticking off from director Marina Granovskaia. The 28-year-old became the Blues record signing when he returned to the club he left back in 2014. They paid Inter £97.5m for the Belgium international who penned a five-year deal in west London. The former Manchester United ace began well back at the Bridge, scoring in his first game away at Arsenal. But he then suffered an ankle injury, missing five weeks of action. The ex-Everton star has bagged five goals and scored on Wednesday as Chelsea drew 1-1 with Brighton. However, it seems all is not well in the camp. Lukaku made no secret of his love for Inter before arriving in the capital. And he has doubled down on those feelings, aiming a dig at manager Thomas Tuchel along the way. “Physically I’m fine. But I’m not happy with the situation at Chelsea. Tuchel has chosen to play with another system – I won’t give up, I’ll be professional,” he told Sky Sports Italy, per the Daily Star. “I am not happy with the situation but I am professional – and I can’t give up now.” The Antwerp-born forward scored 64 goals from 95 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A champions. And his latest comments will worry both Tuchel and the Chelsea fans. “I think everything that happened last summer was not supposed to happen like this, how I left Inter, the way I left the club, how I communicated with Inter fans – this bothers me because it was not the right time,” he added. Lukaku facing possible fine Now, it seems Lukaku could be made to regret those comments. While the interview was recorded several weeks ago, it only aired on Thursday – making the timing of it extremely awkward. Nonetheless, Lukaku is likely to face a ticking off from Granovskaia for going public with his frustrations and may also face a fine. Furthermore, pundits Darren Bent and Trevor Sinclair were lost for words by Lukaku’s comments. They feel he owes Chelsea, and Tuchel in particular, a huge apology for what he has said. Sinclair told talkSPORT: “I’m in absolute shock. I was at Chelsea’s win against Villa and I watched him in the warm up. “I was intrigued because he was out for a while and wondered what his mood was going to be like – he was smiling, laughing, he looked like he was loving being back in the Chelsea squad. “The second-half performance cemented what I was thinking. He looked happy, he played happy, got a goal, an elite striker’s goal and then the third goal where he won the penalty I thought was one of the best runs to earn a penalty from him I’ve seen in a long time. “For him to come out with those comments, I think he should be apologising to the Chelsea fans. That’s so disrespectful to the Chelsea fans. “I think that’s so disrespectful to the Chelsea manager. I’d be astounded if he hadn’t had a conversation with Thomas Tuchel about this. “He might not have got the answer he wanted but you don’t come out in public and say this. I think it’s disrespectful to his teammates and I think it’s disrespectful to the owner. “He’s 28 years old. A lot of Chelsea’s front line will look up to Lukaku, I think he’s let them all down.” Bent brands Romelu Lukaku ‘just crazy’ Despite his return to Chelsea being hampered by injuries, Romelu Lukaku has scored two in his last appearances for Chelsea. As such, former England striker Bent admitted his shock at Lukaku’s comments. “Some of the quotes are just crazy. “One of the quotes where he says he hopes to return to Inter Milan and not at the end of his career, while he’s at his peak still. That could be soon! He’s not getting any younger. “It is a bombshell. I can understand his frustrations at not playing because there have been times where he’s been available and Thomas Tuchel has opted to go for Christian Pulisic as a false nine or Kai Havertz. “But to be so public about it, that’s a hammer blow for Chelsea Football Club.” READ MORE: Intentions clear as Andreas Christensen ‘closes in’ on transfer to European giant The post ‘Crazy’ Romelu Lukaku told he owes Chelsea huge apology with Granovskaia punishment likely appeared first on TEAMtalk.
