The 97.5million man was on the bench for Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid and no-one really gave it a second thought.
Romelu Lukaku's role as one of football's most expensive ever substitutes isn't even a thing anymore. It's normal. Expected.
Extraordinary isn't it? This is the sort of night Chelsea worked so hard last summer to bring Lukaku back for.
Instead, he was left twiddling his thumbs on the sidelines - again.
From the previous 10 matches, Lukaku has started just twice; away at Championship clubs Luton and Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.
