Belgium coach Roberto Martinez is planning to start Inter striker Romelu Lukaku against England in the Nations League clash tonight, according to a report from Italian media outlet FcInterNews.
The report details how the 27-year-old Belgian forward, who is contracted to the Milanese club until 2024, has been suffering from an injury to his left thigh muscle that has forced him to miss the games against Parma and Real Madrid before the international break.
Lukaku trained individually from Thursday to yesterday, working hard in an attempt to be fit in time for tonight’s fixture.
Inter will be praying for the former Manchester United striker to make it through tonight’s game unscathed, considering his importance to the squad.
Lukaku has scored seven goals in eight appearances so far this season across all competitions, being an irreplaceable leader on the pitch.
For the Red Devils, the 27-year-old has scored 55 goals and provided 13 assists in 87 caps.
