After a near-perfect 12 months in west London, Thomas Tuchel is encountering choppy waters for the first time at Chelsea.
Romelu Lukaku's bombshell interview has given the German a conundrum. Last week, Chelsea's £97.5million striker told Italian media of his frustrations at Stamford Bridge, just months after joining from Inter.
Tuchel left the Belgian out of his matchday squad for Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool and revealed that he will hold crunch talks with the former Inter star on Monday, amid speculation that he could make a hasty exit.
