Sympathy is in short supply at Chelsea for Romelu Lukaku and his form struggles.

Goal reports the strikers' willingness to speak out over manager Thomas Tuchel's tactics has put him on the wrong path at the west London club.

The report states that sources close to the club say Lukaku has given himself unnecessary pressure after declaring his love for former club Inter Milan earlier in the season.

The star signed from the Italian club in the summer after scoring 47 league goals in 72 games at the San Siro, but admitted his long-standing fondness for the club back in December.

And that, coupled with his disagreement with Tuchel's tactical approach, has given the Belgian problems.
