There are zero doubts over Romelu Lukaku's commitment, reveals Thomas Tuchel

But things turned sour as the Belgian striker made some controversial comments in an interview last week where he suggested that he didn't want to leave Inter in the summer and that he was frustrated with the role he plays in Tuchel's system. It saw the forward left out of Chelsea's squad as they faced Liverpool over the weekend and a thrilling 2-2 draw ensued without his presence. Yet despite that, Thomas Tuchel has expressed his delight at clearing the air between the pair and reiterated that Lukaku is committed to Chelsea.

“First of all, we are happy that we took the time to look calmly on it, this is what we did. He apologised and is back in the squad for training today. The most important thing was to understand and believe it was not intentional. There was never the slightest behaviour against the team. These are very important points to understand that it is not that big as people or you want it to be. It is also not small but small enough to stay calm, to accept an apology and to move on,” Tuchel said, reported Goal.
