Antonio Conte: 'Chelsea won't change tactics for Romelu Lukaku'

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says that his tactics for the FA Cup final with Manchester United will not revolve around the potential selection of Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has insisted that he will not change his tactics if Romelu Lukaku starts the FA Cup final for Manchester United.

Lukaku has been absent for a number of matches with an ankle injury, but United boss Jose Mourinho has revealed that he will give the Belgian frontman every chance to feature in the encounter at Wembley Stadium.

United have struggled in Lukaku's absence, but Conte has said that he will not base his team selection on the potential involvement of the striker.

At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "We don't change. Also because, I repeat, you don't change your plan or prepare your plan for one player.

"You prepare your plan for the whole team. If Lukaku is not playing, that means they have another important striker, [Marcus] Rashford for example, who could play."

Lukaku has scored 26 goals during his first season at Old Trafford.
