Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has told Thomas Tuchel that it will take 'time' for Romelu Lukaku to adapt to Chelsea's system after the club record signing was dropped for the Chelsea vs Lille game.

Lukaku, 28, was the main topic of Tuchel's press conference for this round of 16 tie due to the fact that he only made seven touches in the Crystal Palace win at the weekend.

His ineffectiveness in that contest cost him his position in Tuesday night's starting eleven as the German decided to opt for Kai Havertz in the false nine position.

"I felt him a little bit tired. He looked a little exhausted and you have to consider that he’s played a lot," Tuchel explained to the Chelsea website when questioned about this specific decision.
