When Romelu Lukaku returned to Inter on loan following his nightmare season at Chelsea, everyone expected him to pick up where he left off a year earlier – bullying defenders, scoring goals and lifting trophies. But it wasn’t quite like that so far.With the Nerazzurri having problems in recapturing their former good form, there is hope that Lukaku’s return from injury will be the turning point in their season. However, if they think that one player will improve their fortunes, they really should think again. Lukaku will miss Belgium’s upcoming Nations League matches and will use the extra days to get into the required rhythm to play in Serie A.##NAJAVA_MECA_6662060##The first day of October will see Inter host Roma at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. There is a lot of symbolism that Inter will look to return to the winning path by beating Jose Mourinho, the man who gave them their best season in this century, the famed Triplete of 2009/10, the campaign where Inter won the Scudetto, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League. That day, coach Simone Inzaghi will ideally have Lukaku leading his attack, picking up forward passes and laying them off to the players in black and blue-striped shirts. Or even better, the Belgian international would dispatch them in the Giallorossi net.Neymar is Europe’s best player, but is still angryBut to have any chance of reproducing his performances from the 2020/21 season, Lukaku has to be fit and healthy first. However, the trouble with the left thigh flexor completely disrupted his return to the Lombardy region. He missed a crucial month that would have been used to bring him to top form. Now he starts from scratch with the aim of doing faster than expected so he can catch up with the calendar that’s been wildly altered by the upcoming World Cup.Inzaghi can at least look forward to having Rom on the training pitch and hopefully seeing him return to full fitness. There is hope again in the Inter camp – and it’s all thanks to the unstoppable Romelu.
