Former Inter is lapidary on Lukaku

Former Roma and Inter Milan midfielder among others, Radja Nainggolan, currently a player at Belgian club Antwerp, in an interview with ‘La Derniere Heure’ newspaper, did not mince words in describing the situation of compatriot Romelu Lukaku, who has often been in the pits in this first part of the season, including the Red Devils’ first two outings at the World Cup in Qatar.

“A footballer becomes more susceptible to injuries from the age of 30. Before the age of 30 I could keep running, but that is no longer the case. Romelu is more explosive than I am, and if he can no longer play on that strength, he is no longer the real Romelu. I doubt that he will continue to wear the Belgium jersey for a long time, because at a certain age you also think about your body,” the Ninja sentenced.

The Nerazzurri number 90, who returned to Milan in the summer after a disappointing experience at Chelsea, has played only five games this season with the Milanese side between the league and Champions League.
