Absent from the grounds since August 26, Romelu Lukaku will probably still have to wait before finally celebrating his big return to competition. Blame it on an injury, harmless at first glance, which turns out to be much more recalcitrant than expected.
“Romelu is still not fully recovered from his thigh injury. He has been training individually for a while. His rehabilitation has been delayed. It is with these words that Simone Inzaghi, the coach of Inter, has (almost) formalized the absence of Lukaku for this weekend’s match once morest Roma.
A meeting at the top which will be the 7th in a row that Romelu will miss with Inter. Cut off in his tracks following an interesting start to the season (1 goal, 1 assist in 3 matches), Lukaku therefore finds himself forced to fret in the stands, martyred by an injury that gives him no respite.
