Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta insists Romelu Lukaku can fight off his latest form slump.
Azpilicueta is convinced that Lukaku is good enough and has a strong enough personality to come back from his latest setback.
He said: “Yes, I have no doubts that Romelu will show his qualities for the team. He's having a tough period.
“But we cannot forget also that he scored two goals in the Club World Cup, in the semi-final and the final, so you know high-level players, we go through tough moments but we cannot forget also that he played a big role in the Club World Cup.
“Of course, Romelu is the first one who wants to give more for the team.
"Every player has their problems when you can be at your best or not, but I have no doubt that Romelu is a very important player.
“The manager makes his decision, the best for every game, so tonight he didn't play but I know that now preparing for the final; every player will have a chance and we have to show that we deserve to be there and then the manager will make the best decision for the team."
