Romelu Lukaku did not mark his return to the Chelsea side with a goal but earned praise from boss Thomas Tuchel after Wednesday’s 2-0 League Cup semi-final win over Tottenham Hotspur.
The Belgian striker had apologised on Tuesday for saying in a TV interview he was dissatisfied with his role at Stamford Bridge since joining from Inter Milan for a club-record fee of 97.5 million pounds (US$132.5 million) in the close season.
He was left out of the squad for the 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool at the weekend but Tuchel said he had no qualms about including him against Tottenham.
“I am happy with the performance, I liked how he played,” Tuchel told reporters. “He was strong, involved and showed huge commitment in our defensive work which was important.” – CNA
