“He’s a powerhouse, it’s difficult to take the ball off him” – Loftus-Cheek reveals how difficult is to play with Chelsea player
Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has revealed it’s difficult to take the ball off Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
“He’s a powerhouse. He’s so big. If you’re a defender and he’s protecting the ball, you can’t even see the ball. Loftus-Cheek said of Lukaku.
“He’s so quick. If he knocks it past you there is no chance.”
The 28 year old Belgium international is still working his way back up to full fitness after his recent injury absence.
After coming off the bench in Chelsea’s last three Premier League games, Lukaku started and scored in the 3-3 draw away at Zenit on Wednesday night.
