    After standing the club-record signing down for Sunday's 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool, Tuchel has since held clear-the-air talks with the Chelsea striker. The head coach said Lukaku feels responsible and determined to "clean the mess up" and revealed he is back in the squad for training ahead of the visit of Spurs.

    "But it is small enough to stay calm, accept an apology and to move on forward. He's very aware of what happened and what he created and he feels the responsibility to clean the mess up.

    "Maybe we will have a bit of smell still from it of course. He can handle it, but he also has no other choice.

    "He cannot expect everybody to be super happy the very next day.

    "But he's still our player and we have good, good reasons and a lot of reasons to make him play for us, and to convince him and to fight hard that he's our player. We're happy he's our player, we will protect him."

    Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol on The Transfer Show:

    "I don't think it was the kind of meeting where Lukaku was told off by Tuchel. Of course, Tuchel and Chelsea are unhappy about what happened, but I think the purpose of the meeting was to listen to what Lukaku had to say, hear his side of the story and take it from there.

    "What is significant is that Lukaku apologised. He said that he regretted what he had done, he made a mistake and he never should have said what he did.

    "And to be fair to Tuchel, he accepted that straight away. We've heard him say in the past that he doesn't have a problem with people making mistakes, as long as they put their hands up, accept responsibly and learn from them.

    "That is what has happened in this case. Tuchel and Chelsea will always try and be supportive of their players and protect them. As far as Tuchel is concerned, it is over now.

    "Now it is time for Lukaku to let his football do the talking and it'll be interesting to see if he's in the starting line-up against Spurs tomorrow night."

    In a 29-minute interview with Sky in Italy recorded earlier in December, Lukaku said he said he was "not happy" with his situation at Chelsea, questioned Tuchel's system and revealed he turned down a move to Manchester City in 2020.

    "Physically I'm doing great. I'm just not very happy with the situation, but that's normal," Lukaku said. "I think the boss has decided to play a different formation but I have to stick at it and get on with it professionally.

    "I'm not happy with the situation but it's my job and I mustn't give up.

    Graeme Souness says Lukaku must apologise to his team-mates after the comments he made in his Sky in Italy interview led to Tuchel dropping the striker against Liverpool.

    However, fellow pundit Gary Neville says an apology is not necessary if Lukaku has told the truth - but he must work hard to win back the trust of his manager and fans in what is now "rather than a love story, a transactional relationship".

    Jamie Carragher, Graeme Souness and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink debate what the next steps are for Romelu Lukaku's redemption at Chelsea after the Belgian was dropped for Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Liverpool after comments in made in an interview.

    Lukaku said he hoped to go back to Inter soon because he was unhappy with how Tuchel was utilising him.

    Sky Sports pundit Souness described Lukaku's decision to say those things as "ridiculous and damaging" and backed Tuchel for leaving out the £97.5m forward, despite the enormity of the game.
