Chelsea manager Tuchel reveals Lukaku could return for Juventus clash

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is set to make a late decision on whether Romelu Lukaku will play against Juventus on Tuesday.

The Belgian has been sidelined since injuring his ankle against Malmo almost a month ago.

"I am not sure yet on Romelu," he said. "We have one more training, yesterday he was in team training and seemed okay. Let's see about the reaction.

"He has right now today an appointment with the doctors and the physios to see about the reaction, to see about the next training.

"We have the chance to bring 20 players to the squad, maybe we have the chance that he is in the squad for the last minutes, but that will be the absolute maximum we can get out of the situation right now."

The Blues have already secured their spot in the Champions League knockout stages, but they still sit three points behind Group H leaders Juventus.
