Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by league leaders City on Saturday and Tuchel had expressed frustration with Lukaku's performance after the match but said on Monday that it was wrong to pin the blame for the team's performance on a single player.
"This is what we do for any player. This is a team sport and it's not about 10 players serving one player. It is not Chelsea and it is not football. Every player is there to serve the team. This is the highest principle and won't change. The defeat sent Chelsea down to third in the standings, 13 points behind City and two behind second-placed Liverpool and Tuchel added that easing the pressure of expectation on Lukaku would be key to the striker finding his best form.
"It's not only about pushing, squeezing, demands, it's also about feeling peace and being relaxed on the pitch. Things will fall into place when we keep on working hard and this is what we will keep on doing."
