Romelu Lukaku was treated to a ‘birthday surprise’ on Thursday as his Inter teammates piled onto him during training.

Lukaku was involved in controversy last night when he was spotted having dinner in a Milan hotel with Achraf Hakimi, Ivan Perisic and Ashley Young, all of whom were fined for breaching COVID-19 curfew rules.

Inter swiftly moved to deny the more fanciful versions of events circulating in the media, assuring there was no party organised and that most had misinterpreted the incident.

Lukaku was in high spirits for his first training session as a 28-year-old, winning a training drill before being submerged under his euphoric teammates.
