Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel denies he wants to see Romelu Lukaku sold.

This morning, he was asked how he can get the best out of striker Lukaku, who has been a peripheral figure in recent weeks and is without a league goal in 2022.

He said: "Always I want him to be an important part. Right now he is an important part of the squad next season. There are no players set to depart or improvements because of the situation.

"We signed a big player, we still have a big player. He didn't come on because we had three subs and had to use one for Jorginho at half time.

"He trained very well and maybe starts tomorrow."
