Tuchel Hits Back At Conte's Claims Chelsea Don't Know How To Best Utilise Lukaku

Following a strong start to his second life at Stamford Bridge, the Belgium international has hit a barren patch, coinciding with back-to-back defeats.

Thomas Tuchel has rebuffed Antonio Conte's claim that Chelsea are yet to figure out how to properly use Romelu Lukaku, though the Blues boss admitted his predecessor is right on some counts.

Following a stirring start to his second stint at Stamford Bridge, the Belgium international has hit a barren patch, with his side slipping to defeats against Manchester City and Juventus in that time.

Ex-Chelsea coach Conte, who led Lukaku to a Serie A crown with Inter last term, suggested Tuchel has not figured out the best approach for the player yet, but now the German has responded.
