Romelu Lukaku has apologised to Inter after claiming nearly the entire first team squad were ill around about the turn of the year according to a report in today’s print edition of La Repubblica.
In an interview with Belgian television presenter Kat Kerkhofs, who is the wife of Inter transfer target Dries Mertens, last night, Lukaku claimed that 23 of 25 first team players were suffering from illness following a one week break period.
Inter have this morning come out and denied the claims and have spared Lukaku of a fine he would have otherwise been subjected to as per the terms of the club’s internal code of ethics, due to the fact he did apologise for his words.
The 26-year-old striker, who joined the club in a club record €65 million deal this past Summer from Manchester United, has made 35 appearances across all competitions to date this season in which he has scored 23 goals and provided five assists.
