Inter coach Antonio Conte is likely to rest Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku in tomorrow night’s clash with Torino, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.
The report details how the 27-year-old striker, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2024, didn’t show any injuries when undergoing medical tests yesterday, instead having only a small issue. The player is fit enough to face the Granata tomorrow evening, but Conte doesn’t want to take any risks and will start Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez.
There are still six more league games to play, the report continues, and so Conte would prefer to rest Lukaku tomorrow so he is fully fit and healthy for the remaining games of the season. The former Manchester United striker has made 42 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 3452 minutes. In that time, he has scored 26 goals and provided five assists.
