Romelu Lukaku accepted that his Sky interview in Italy was a mistake after clear-the-air talks with Thomas Tuchel.
In an interview with Sky in Italy that was recorded a few weeks ago but first aired last Thursday, Lukaku said he was unhappy with his role at the club and would like to return to Inter Milan in the near future.
The comments that led to him being left out of the squad for the 2-2 home draw againstLiverpool were made by him.
There is now a commitment from all parties for Romelu to move on from the interview and help reignite the title race.
He won't be leaving the club this month or next summer, even though a transfer has never been discussed.

In an interview with Sky in Italy earlier this month, he talked about the possibility of returning to Inter and his unhappiness with the situation at Chelsea.
After revealing that he only decided to join the Blues when his request for a new contract in Italy was rejected, he now says he wanted to join the club this summer.
There is no truth in reports from Italy that suggest that Romelu Lukaku is interested in working with Antonio Conte again.

What did the player say in the interview?
In an interview with Sky in Italy recorded earlier in December, Romelu Lukaku said he was not happy with his situation at Chelsea and turned down a move to Manchester City in 2020.
I'm doing well. "I'm not very happy with the situation, but that's normal." I have to stick with it and get on with my job even though the boss has decided to play a different formation.
I must not give up on my job and I am not happy with the situation.

Thomas Tuchel.

The comments made by Lukaku in a past interview about his place in the squad may have been taken out of context.
I turned down an offer from Manchester City at the end of the first year I was at Inter.
After we won the title, I went to speak with the club chiefs and asked for a new contract. I did it because I told myself I was 28, my family feels great in Milan, I still have my flat there, my mother and my son could come and live there, and we would all feel comfortable.
They didn't want to extend my contract. It was difficult for me to accept, because I was sure I would be able to do more in Milan.
There are three teams that I think are the best in football. Every player dreams of playing for one of these teams. If I ever had the chance, I would sign a new contract with Inter and then go there.
I told myself that there was only one team that I could see myself in, and that was the one that I could not see myself in. I was not thinking about going there, but at one point they came in for me and I asked Inzaghi to leave.
It hurt me that they didn't try to make me sign a new contract. If Inter offered me a new contract, I would have stayed. That doesn't say anything.
