Former Chelsea star, Chris Sutton, has struck out at striker, Romelu Lukaku, ahead of their Champions League round last 16 first-leg tie with Lille on Tuesday night at Stamford Bridge.

Sutton stated Lukaku ought to be humiliated to show up for training after his poor performance throughout Chelsea’s Premier League 1-0 triumph against Crystal Palace last weekend.

Lukaku managed simply seven touches of the ball throughout Chelsea’s clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Belgium assaulter has actually struggled to validate the ₤ 97million Chelsea spent to bring him back to Stamford Bridge last summer season from Inter Milan.

However Sutton believes Lukaku was hiding during the encounter.

“I was the club’s record finalizing. I cost them ₤ 10million in 1999 and it didn’t exercise, so I was sold after a single season in blues,” Sutton informed the Daily Mail.

“Yet if I had ever finished a video game having had just 7 touches of the ball, I would feel embarrassed strolling back into that training school.

“For a striker to come out of 90 minutes with that sorry figure screams ‘I’m concealing,’ and there is no escaping that for Romelu Lukaku.”

He added: “Maybe he will blame an absence of service, however that is only part of the problem.

“If Lukaku wished to touch the ball more than seven times against Crystal Palace, he could have done.

“He could have made much better motions. He might have made it impossible for his colleagues to disregard him.”
