BLANKED! Lukaku and Pochettino not speaking at Chelsea

Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku has an icy relationship with his new club manager at present.

The striker has not spoken to new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino since he came back to the club.

Lukaku was on loan at Inter Milan last season, missing the period when Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter were both sacked.

Per The Telegraph, he has been training with the club's Under-21 side instead of the first team.

Lukaku is one who wants to leave Stamford Bridge and has no intention of remaining a Blue.

The source adds that Chelsea are also eager to sell, but only for the appropriate price.

They see Dusan Vlahovic as a possible alternative, but a swap deal with Juventus was not agreed.
