Inter striker Romelu Lukaku is aiming to be back for the Belgian national team’s final World Cup group stage match against Croatia.

This according to Belgian news outlet HLN, via FCInterNews, who report that the 29-year-old is the one player in the Red Devils’ squad not currently in full training, whilst his target for an injury return is in their third and final group stage match.

Lukaku certainly will not be a part of Belgium’s squad for this evening’s group stage opener against Canada.

The Nerazzurri striker also looks unlikely to be ready to play in the Red Devils’ second group stage match, against Morocco over the weekend.

Lukaku has yet to make his return to full training with the rest of the group as he continues on his individual recovery program for the thigh strain that has kept him out of action for the past several weeks.

However, the aim for the 29-year-old is to play against Morocco.
