Disappointing season: After Lukaku’s move back to Chelsea for around 116 million euros, expectations of the striker after his time in Serie A were high. However, he has only scored eight goals and one assist in 26 Premier League appearances.

Tuchel encourages: Coach Thomas Tuchel urges patience: “I still believe that he will score [goals] because he always did, but we need more patience than we might all have and want with this commitment.”
