Romelu Lukaku plays a new card to get back in sooner

Lukaku returns to Belgium

Romelu Lukaku returns to Belgium to continue his recovery from injury. The Inter Milan striker, in recent days, has been suffering from a sprained right thigh flexor. The former Chelsea man, as Sky Sport 24 reports, in agreement with the club and the Nerazzurri medical staff, has left to return to his homeland.

“There he will have a chance to continue his recovery path and share his progress with his national team staff. Only a few days and then he will return to be close to the team with his and the fans’ dream of trying to return before the break,” Sky reports.

Simone Inzaghi’s team, after their 3-2 derby loss to AC Milan, will return to the pitch on Wednesday night for their Champions League Group C opener against Bayern Munich.
