UCL: Chelsea boss Tuchel confirms Lukaku out of Real Madrid trip
Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku is out of their Champions League clash at Real Madrid.
The Blues travel to the Santiago Bernabeu facing a difficult task after losing their home leg 3-1 last week – with Karim Benzema netting a hat-trick on a miserable night for the reigning European champions.
Lukaku featured in that game – earning the wrath of Tuchel and Chelsea supporters after being guilty of missing a sitter following his introduction in the second half.

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel said: “The injury situation is that Callum Hudson-Odoi is still out, Ben Chilwell of course still out.
“Romelu will not travel with us due to his pain in the achilles. Azpilicueta is in the group. He has tested several times negative and Ross Barkley is sick, he will not travel. Everybody else is in the squad.”
