After a meeting with the coach and the club’s board, it was learnt that the Beligum forward apologized and has returned to training with his teammates ahead of their Premier League clash against Tottenham.
“Romelu Lukaku apologized and he’s back in the squad.” Tuchel told the media in his pre-match presser.
“For me it was important to understand that it [the interview] was not intentional from Romelu. This is not as big as people want it to be – it’s not small but we can stay calm and accept his apologies”.
“Romelu’s very aware of what happened and what he created. He feels the responsibility to clean his mess up. Maybe we’ll have a bit of smell from it, but he can handle it. He’s no other choice – he’s our player”.
