Thomas Tuchel has reinforced that Romelu Lukaku has every opportunity still to prove himself at Chelsea following the forward's brace against Wolves on Saturday. The Belgian striker earned a penalty which he was able to convert before producing an impressive hit just minutes late to give the Blues a 2-0 lead before Bruno Lage's side came back to draw.
Lukaku's goals were his first in the Premier League in 2022, and first at Stamford Bridge since his explosive interview that was released over the festive period. The £97.5million signing has failed to hit the heights many expected when he re-joined the west London team, but once again become Chelsea's top goalscorer with 14 goals.
Tuchel was reluctant to go into specifics about Lukaku given the manner of the Blues' draw, but confirmed Lukaku can still prove himself for the club, as can other members of the squad. Tuchel said: "Everybody has, I know you're very keen on Romelu questions but everyone has and today he delivered and next game is on."
