Lukaku and Bertrand out of the UCL squad.

[Ollie 4,400]

Don't get this at all, maybe Lukaku is scared of flying or something. Kalou.... i'm beginning to seriously hate that word, let alone the name. I simply don't wanna see him ever play for us again but maybe Genk at home can make him feel special instead of special needs. Talentless cunt.

[Sheva. 5,373]

At least there is Josh and Romeu

[Kieran. 6,317]

What the FUCK, AVB?

I still think AVB will be great in the future, but so far...VERY disappointing.

[Kojo 4,676]

It's shocking, we need to play these players for some experience, but to look on another side Lukaku will get chances in our other two competitions, league cup and F.A cup.

[Wilson 358]

As long as Lukaku starts ahead of Anelka and Kalou in FA Cup and Carling Cup, I'm happy.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Slight over the top reactions here

Yeah, it's disappointing he's been left out. But come on now, this can be changed in January.

[Superblue 6,372]

Can't understand why Bertrand isn't a 'club trained' player. We've owned his registration for over 3 years between the age of 15 and 21 haven't we?

[Beast 85]

Kalou and Malouda are vile creatures and should be deported out of the continent ASAP.

Ferreira, who was omitted from the squad at the same stage two seasons ago for similar reasons, had to be included this time around with Chelsea denied any other cover at left-back for the first‑choice, Ashley Cole. Ryan Bertrand, the England Under-21 international, has also missed out as, of the allocation of eight homegrown players, only four can be "association trained" as opposed to "club trained".

Bertrand, signed from Gillingham in 2005 as a 15-year-old, has spent periods on loan at Bournemouth, Oldham, Norwich, Reading and Nottingham Forest and, with his Chelsea career so interrupted, therefore does not qualify as "club trained" – John Terry is the only player in the squad that falls into that category – with Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Ross Turnbull and Daniel Sturridge making up the "association trained" group.

This is kind of depressing as it doesn't seem we'll ever give our youth a chance.

[Tomo 21,751]

Fucking hell, given the reaction on here you think we sold McEachran to Q.P.R for 2 grand.

Your all calling for them to be included but say we have qualification at risk against Valencia in the last game have a injury crisis and play Lukaku and Bertrand, Lukaku misses a couple of good chances and Ryan makes a mistake for a goal and we go out, the same Chelsea fans will go "why did AVB throw them into that game, it was too soon bla bla bla" maybe AVB has thought ahead to that scnareo.

Same with Bruma i wasn't a member here at the time but i can remember other Chelsea fans calling for him to be played, he got played against Newcastle didn't have the best of game and got bashed, he played against Villa and got made the scapegoat. Its ridicolous.

I dont get why Betrand is not included?

[Haseeb Ahmed 0]

Oh No i really want Lukaku in chelsea squad for ucl.

[termninja 5,290]

Bertrand should've been included at least. The only left back we've got is Ash...

Well then you should learn how to read.
