There Will Always Be A Way Back For Lukaku In My Team – Tuchel

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to explain why he dropped Romelu Lukaku from the game vs Liverpool. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the interview the Belgian granted has been generating too much noise and he had to protect the preparation for the Liverpool clash by dropping Lukaku.

Tuchel added that Lukaku remains a Chelsea player and there will always be a way back for him into the team.

His words, “The thing got too big, the thing got too noisy so close to the match, so I decided to protect the preparation of the match, and that’s why he’s out.”

“Of course we have spoken, we’ve spoken twice, I’ve spoken to the main players, of course and after that we had to realise it’s too close to the match, it’s too big.”

“We delayed the decision about what to do. We need to protect the preparation of the match. We have a big match of football to play and we need full focus, which is hard to get anyway – hard even with this decision. But it is, in my opinion, easier if he’s not in the squad, and that’s why we did it.”

“For sure it’s a difficult decision to take but in my opinion, it was the decision to take.”

“He is our player. There is always a way back, we will clear this behind closed doors and once we have made a decision and Romelu knows, you will maybe know also. It is not to be discussed now.”
