What Dean Smith told Romelu Lukaku after Chelsea star's brace against Aston Villa
Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has revealed he asked Romelu Lukaku to sit out of Chelsea's clash with his team at Stamford Bridge.
Before the clash, there was some slight concern that the Belgian would not be fit enough having picked up a knock on international duty and revealing he would undergo a scan.
However, those fears were quickly allayed by Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel in his pre-match press conference.
He said: “He [Lukaku] came back two days ago. He trained yesterday and today no problem at all.”
The striker showed no ill effects of a potential problem as he scored twice in a 3-0 victory - both finishes particularly clinical and taking him to three goals since his transfer return from Inter Milan earlier this summer.
