As the aftermath from Romelu Lukaku’s explosive interview with Sky Italia continues, Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has announced he intends to speak with the striker on Monday.
Lukaku revealed his dissatisfaction with his team’s tactical style in an unapproved interview given three weeks ago, and he also indicated a desire to return to his previous club Inter at some point.
There are rumors that the summer signing is already thinking about his future at Stamford Bridge after his public outburst.
Mancester City went into Sunday’s Premier League game with a one-point lead over Manchester United, but Lukaku was left out of the matchday squad.
This decision was made because Tuchel wanted to minimize any distractions ahead of a crucial game. He claimed that the interview had been overshadowed by the “noise.”
Chelsea-like, but it’s not the worst thing in the world, and it’s not the first time that an interview out there makes some noise that nobody needs.
No, I don’t feel threatened or assaulted in any way. There was a lot of noise on Friday, which made me a little irritated. It was also in Romelu’s best interest that we postponed the decision, as we needed time to communicate, read the complete interview, and maintain our composure before making a choice.
For a match like this, it was only right to preserve the preparation. Afterwards, there was greater attention on playing a match like this since it was evident that he would not be in the squad or participate.
There will be further discussion on Monday ahead of the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham, according to Tuchel.
As Tuchel said, “We need to examine the issue and not listen to the media or the pressure but grasp what he said,” a meeting is scheduled for the following day.
“We’ll make a choice from there.” Assuming the decision is made that he is fit to leave on Wednesday, then this is the plan; however, I am unable to tell you what it is since we must first communicate and have a clearer understanding of the issue before moving further.
This is our player, and we’ll defend him. There’s no question about that.”
