It’s tight! Lukaku should be fit for the World Cup – but only just

Inter are still to see the best out of Romelu Lukaku following his return from Chelsea. But the Belgian national team is also facing uncertainty regarding their big striker.The Belgium national team doctor Kristof Sas said Lukaku would recover in time for World Cup but warned that it’s a race against the clock. The Belgium international is set to return to action after almost two months on the sidelines because of a severe muscle injury. He is expected to be involved in Wednesday’s Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen, but not from the start.##NAJAVA_MECA_6757251##Doctor Sas has provided an update about the 29-year-old ahead of the World Cup. Sas has no doubts that the Chelsea loanee will make it to Qatar.”He has been out for a long time. It will be a race against the clock, not to get him medically fit, but at a high level. Rhythm is important for every player, although it becomes less important once they have more experience. Of course, there is a big difference with the ‘normal’ timing ahead of a big tournament. Normally there is a big gap between the end of the season and the start of the World Cup or European Championship.”🚨 Chelsea are ready to allow Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, 29, to remain on loan at Inter Milan next season before writing off millions of pounds by selling him.
