Daniel Sturridge believes Chelsea could benefit from giving Romelu Lukaku another chance to prove himself at Stamford Bridge.
Lukaku was frozen out by former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel last summer after a disappointing first year back at the club having transferred from Inter Milan for £98m in 2021.
But the Belgian, who was also on the club's books between 2011 and 2014, soon fell out of favour under Tuchel and returned to Inter last summer on loan.
While many feel Lukaku has run out of chances at Stamford Bridge, another former Chelsesa striker in Sturridge feels he could still become key to a future Blues boss if they play to the Belgian hitman's strengths.
