The result was that Chelsea went out in extra time, but fortunately the Belgian international has recovered from his injury and was able to complete the full course of drills.
However, Lukaku has only played 41 minutes in his last 4 matches and it is doubtful if he is fit enough for this EFL Cup match, so he might be the back-up first.
Chelsea have already lost the EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League, plus

With 12 points and basically no hope of winning the Cup, the EFL Cup is the only hope for the team to win the Cup, so they can't afford to lose.
