Darren Bent claims Thomas Tuchel's decision to drop Romelu Lukaku for Chelsea's clash against Liverpool following his shock interview is 'extreme' but Michael Owen believes it's the right choice

Darren Bent has labelled Thomas Tuchel's decision to drop Romelu Lukaku from the Chelsea squad for Sunday's game against Liverpool as 'extreme'.

Tuchel has reportedly decided against calling upon Lukaku for the clash at Stamford Bridge after the striker gave an interview during which he expressed his frustration with his situation at the club.

Lukaku also stated that he would like to return to Inter Milan in the near future, but former Tottenham striker Bent believes that Tuchel has made the wrong call in dropping him for such a high-profile game.
