Chelsea 'push back Romelu Lukaku's return to pre-season training' after the Belgian striker 'planned NOT to turn up tomorrow as he looks to seal permanent Inter Milan switch'

Chelsea have reportedly pushed back Romelu Lukaku's return to training as they look to secure the permanent switch to Inter Milan he is seeking.

The Blues had originally given the Belgian striker July 12 as a return date for him to join up with new boss Mauricio Pochettino.

But the Telegraph report that the Blues have now moved that to July 17 in the hope that a breakthrough can be made by then with Inter.

It was previously reported that Lukaku has no interest in going back to Chelsea and was ready to avoid turning up tomorrow.
