The coach explained why Lukaku should leave Chelsea. He suggested the player should leave Chelsea to secure his place in the Belgium team. In an interview, he told The Sun,

"We are talking about players, like Romelu, who have got over 100 caps and are part of this group of players who know the national team inside out. I'm not going to judge or assess the condition of any player until after the summer because it is not a normal situation. It is still seven months to the World Cup, and probably you will go into the details of how a player feels when it gets closer to it than now. But there will be a lot of players who change clubs or are going to feel in a different way in the summer. Romelu needs to be assessed on how he feels in September, the same way Eden Hazard does and some others. But he is one of the players for whom the summer could be a big moment for their careers."
