How Chelsea could lineup with Lukaku

It has been confirmed by Tuchel that Pulisic is out of contention for the game in the weekend after testing positive for Covid-19. However he still has an abundance of options to choose from, starting with Ziyech who is back in training, he will have to decide the front three as Werner and Havertz as well as the likes of Mount and Hudson Odoi can play anywhere in the front 3. Lukaku will most probably take the no.9 role up top if he is to start while the others try to play off him.
