The Belgium international was unable to get on the scoresheet yet again in his side’s victory over Brentford on Saturday.
Romelu Lukaku has been finding it hard to find the back of the net lately, but that’s not a cause of concern for Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
Lukaku thought he had handed Chelsea the lead when he flicked the ball into the net at minute 22 during Chelsea’s match against their west London neighbors Brentford. However, the goal was disallowed for offside.
Saturday evening marked yet another goalless display from the former Inter Milan man, who has failed to hit the target in his last six games.
“I am not concerned as I felt him a bit tired, and then isolated because we were defending too deep as a block,” said Tuchel (via Daily Mail).
“I felt him a bit tired. Altogether we produced a very strong 60 to 75 minutes, including Romelu and Timo (Werner).
“Both of them, Romelu and Timo, were too far away to help us escape the pressure. That was the problem, but I have no concerns.
“Normally the best thing is that he scores but he is very unselfish at the moment, looking for Timo in good situations.
“And we had him in the situation (to score), it was a close offside decision.”
