Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has called on fans to get behind Romelu Lukaku tomorrow night against Tottenham.
Tuchel confirmed Lukaku will be in the squad for the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semifinal after being dropped for the draw with Liverpool.
"Well, he's very aware of what happened and what he created," said the German boss. "He feels the responsibility to clean the mess up!
"Maybe we will have a bit of smell still from the comments, of course, but he can handle it. There is also no other choice. He has to expect it now that people will not be super happy the very next day.
"But, he is still our player and we have good, good, reasons to make him play for us and to convince him to fight hard."
He added: "In the end, it's very important that the stadium supports the team and even if someone disagrees with it, it is about the team in everything we do.
"I hope the supporters can take this can on supporting the team because we are in the moment where we really need them."
