EPL: Tuchel reveals Chelsea will make decision on Lukaku’s future

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, in a statement, has stressed that the Blues board will make a decision on the future of Belgium international Romelu Lukaku at the club.

This comes after Lukaku made a shocking statement during his interview with Sky Sports Italia.

The 28-year-old striker claimed that he was unhappy at Stamford Bridge and was considering a return to Inter Milan.

This led to Tuchel dropping him out from the squad that played a 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday at Stamford Bridge despite the importance of the match to the Blues.

In a post-match interview, the German coach was asked about the future of the Belgium striker.

He replied: “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.”

There are indications that Lukaku could leave Chelsea in the ongoing January transfer window and return to the Italian Seria A club Inter Milan.
