German Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will fine Romelu Lukaku even though he accepted the striker’s apology following his controversial Sky Italia interview, in which he claimed to be unhappy with his situation with the Blues. In a press statement Wednesday, Tuchel stressed that “there will be disciplinary measures and Lukaku will accept them”.
The Blues coach spoke with the player before deciding to reinstate him in the squad for the semi-final of the League Cup against Tottenham, specifying however that Lukaku “will have a fine and that he must accept it. . “
Tuchel noted that he encountered no opposition from the Blues board after dismissing the £ 97.5million rookie from the squad against Liverpool, adding that he was happy to have the support of the Chelsea hierarchy.
The German assured that Lukaku is determined to “clean up the mess” caused by his comments to Sky Italia. But the striker could receive a frosty reception from Chelsea supporters on Wednesday. Before concluding, Tuchel let it be known that the former Internazionale striker, who earns around 350,000 pounds per week, “will suffer further sanctions”.
