Romelu Lukaku will be back in the squad for the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Spurs after he apologized, according to manager Thomas Tuchel.
In an interview recorded three weeks ago, he made comments that caused him to be dropped for Sunday's game.
The pair had a meeting on Monday to discuss the return of the strikers.
He is back in the squad for today's training after he apologized.
Tuchel was undermined publicly by Lukaku.
We have time to look back on it. The most important thing for me was to understand, and that was not intentional. He didn't do this to make a big noise in front of the game.
In an interview recorded in December, the record-breaking signing of the club said he was not happy with his part in the team and would like to return to Inter Milan.
The 28-year-old was left out of the squad for the game against the Reds.
When he seemed to be ready to play after his injury from the start, we thought he needed to read the intensity a little bit more and that's why we didn't show any disrespect to the team.
It was the first time that he felt this way. It's important to stay calm and know that it's not as big as people think.
Since rejoining the club from Inter Milan, he has scored seven goals.
Tuchel said that the player feels the responsibility to clean up the mess and that he is aware of what he has created.
He is still our player and we have good reasons to make him play for us and convince him to fight hard.
Even though he was fit, he was left out of the starting line-up at times.
He has had a recent upturn in form, scoring in his past two appearances after discussions about his role with Tuchel.
