Lukaku has been in full training since Sunday and Chelsea
manager Thomas Tuchel said the Belgium striker could be selected in the squad
if he is deemed fit after meeting with medical staff.
“Maybe he has the chance to be in the squad for the last
minutes (of the match),” Tuchel said of Lukaku, “but that will be the absolute
maximum we can get out of the situation right now.”
Lukaku was hurt in the win over Malmo in the Champions
League on Oct. 20, the same game in which Timo Werner also came off the field
because of a hamstring injury.
Werner has also returned to training and looks more likely
to play against Juventus, given Kai Havertz — who has filled in up front over
the last month — was withdrawn during the 3-0 win over Leicester in the Premier
League on Saturday because of hamstring problems.
“We have some doubts with him, we need to check to see if he
can train without any problems,” Tuchel said of Havertz. “This is more or less
the question mark.” -AP
