Teenager Kylian Mbappe struck twice as Monaco claimed victory at Signal Iduna Park, with Tuchel furious at UEFA's handling of the situation.
The Dortmund bus was hit by three explosions as it left the team hotel ahead of Tuesday's scheduled Champions League game against Monaco.
German authorities arrested a suspected Islamic extremist in their investigation into a bomb attack on Borussia Dortmund, while the team lost 3-2 to Monaco in a hastily rescheduled Champions League match.
"The more time we get, the better", Tuchel said Thursday, adding he hoped Marco Reus could make his return.
The fixture was postponed 24 hours after three explosions rocked the Dortmund team coach and left Spain global Marc Bartra with a broken wrist as the Germans made their way to the ground ahead of Tuesday's scheduled kick-off. "But in all parts of life we can only give 100 per cent and I'm sure everyone is doing this to give you the best security you can have".

"We aren't animals, we're humans, who have family and children at home", said the Greece global. "I think everybody could understand if you couldn't play it".
"I know that the football is very important, that it is about a lot and I knew we have to deliver here. Because last night I didn't realize what happened, and when I was at home and my wife and my son were waiting in front of the door, there I felt how lucky we were", the visibly shaken Sahin told former Norway global Jan Aage Fjortoft, now a journalist.
The Dortmund players were back in training on Wednesday morning to prepare for the evening's fixture.
Dortmund's current coach, Thomas Tuchel, said his team had felt ignored by UEFA over the decision to reschedule the match so quickly, though the European governing body responded that neither team had objected to playing the game. "Everybody has the right to deal with it the way he wants to". We made a good second half.
