Thomas Tuchel won’t tolerate any breach in discipline – even if it comes from one of his best players ahead of a massively important match. Romelu Lukaku has been excluded from Chelsea’s squad ahead of tonight’s game against Liverpool due to his inappropriate comments given in a recent interview.The way that the former Inter attacker spoke about Tuchel system was a step over the line – especially considering that the club hadn’t given Lukaku the permission to speak with Sky Sports. The German decided to teach Lukaku a lesson for his poorly chosen words.”I feel very good physically. But I’m not happy with the situation at the club. I think the coach chose to play with a different system. I must not give up. I have to act and work like a professional. I say, I am not satisfied, but I am a worker and I must not allow myself to give up.”After the problematic interview made all the headlines, Tuchel faced the press in a pre-match conference and admitted that he wasn’t pleased with his player’s words.”I don’t like it. But I don’t want to make more out of it than it actually is. It is very easy to take lines out of context.”An interview that will surely stir things up: I’m not happy with Chelsea; Inter, forgive me if I call you Love’After taking some time to analyze the interview, the former Paris Saint-Germain manager clearly decided that further action was necessary. Tuchel is determined to show who’s boss! The Premier League match between Chelsea and Liverpool is set to kick off at 19.30 on Sunday.MORE TO FOLLOWPREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 21SaturdayArsenal – Manchester City 1-2 (1-0)/Saka 31 – Mahrez 57 pen, Rodri 90+3/Watford – Tottenham 0-1 (0-0)/Sanchez 90+3/Crystal Palace – West Ham 2-3 (0-3)/Edouard 83, Olise 90 – Antonio 22, Lanzini 25, 45+5/Leicester – Norwich POSTPONEDSundaySouthampton – Newcastle POSTPONED17:00: (3.10) Brentford (3.20) Aston Villa (2.55)17:00: (2.70) Everton (3.05) Brighton (3.00)17:00: (2.05) Leeds (3.50) Burnley (3.90)19:30: (3.00) Chelsea (3.30) Liverpool (2.55)Monday20:30: (1.65) Man.Utd.
