Romelu Lukaku is in line to make his second debut for Chelsea in next weekend's Premier League clash with Arsenal.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Romelu Lukaku is in line to make his second debut for the Blues in next weekend's Premier League clash with Arsenal.

The Belgium international re-joined Chelsea in a £97.5m deal last week but was not available for Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace due to the rules on self-isolation.

Tuchel has said that the striker is set to link up with his new teammates on Tuesday and is likely to feature for the European champions in their second league game of the season against the Gunners.

"We expect Romelu to come out of quarantine on Monday and return to full team training on Tuesday. We will prepare him to be ready for Arsenal and hopefully he can be on the pitch," The Mirror quotes Tuchel as saying.

The 28-year-old, who has signed a five-year contract with the Blues, scored 64 goals in 95 appearances during his two seasons with Inter Milan and played a key role in their Serie A title success last term.

Lukaku was previously contracted to Chelsea between 2011 and 2014 but failed to score in 15 appearances for the club before leaving to join Everton on a permanent deal.
