Romelu Lukaku discussed the situation at Chelsea with his former team-mate Tim Howard after the striker was left to wonder alone.
Lukaku was not selected to play against Liverpool on Sunday following his “bombshell” interview with Sky Sports Italia.
The striker revealed that he is “not happy” with his place in the Chelsea team.
Lukaku revealed that he’s been calm with the situation at Chelsea claiming that the situation is “very hot” at the moment and they’ll still meet on Monday.
‘I can’t talk too much about it. It is very hot. There is another meeting on Monday. I have another meeting on Monday, I can talk more after that,’ Lukaku told Howard.
Tim Howard played with Lukaku at Everton for three years. He stated that the outburst was as a result of frustration at the club.
‘I think he’s frustrated, absolutely,’ the American told NBC Sports, via the Chelsea Chronicle.
‘The things happened at Inter, the way he left, the way he had to be sold for them to recoup some money for the club.
‘He didn’t get an opportunity to speak to the and the way he wanted to and leave on his own terms.
‘Even though when I spoke to him a few weeks ago, he spoke about unfinished business at Chelsea, I think that was also real, but I think it was a brave face to say ‘I’m here now, I have to come back and hopefully win some trophies.’
‘But this does seem out of character for him to speak in this way.’
