Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits Romelu Lukaku's fitness isn't enough to work their system.
Lukaku started from the bench for today's FA Cup semifinal against Crystal Palace.
Tuchel said: "He is not fit enough for the intensity of our game in an FA Cup semi-final.
"It's not easy to come into a game such as this with so much riding on it after a spell out with injury.
"It's just a case of him not having as much minutes recently as the other players, his match fitness is not quite there otherwise there's a big chance that he would have started today."
