Courtois and Lukaku didn't get shirt number which probably means something.

Yes it's partly because they are waiting to see if Cech or Torres leaves, making the no.1 and no.9 available. It'd be harsh on fans if they bought a Courtois shirt with a different no. for it to then change if Cech goes Monaco or PSG. Still think Lukaku will leave though.

They're both only returning to the squad today after the World Cup so I wouldn't read too much into it.

With the exception of Zouma none of those players who were out on loan last season have yet been given a squad number and that includes Romeu who as we know has just signed a new contract.
Jose is no doubt working through his options and when he has decided that the player will be included in the squad they are allocated a squad number
