Lukaku has always been a different player when playing for Belgium. The striker has scored 5 goals in 4 matches of World Cup Qualifiers.
Lukaku scored the second goal against France to give Belgium a 2-0 lead, only to lose the game by 3-2. Later in a press conference, manager Roberto Martinez confirmed that Lukaku is not 100% fit and he is feeling muscular fatigue. However, he failed to put a date on the calendar for his return.
Romelu Lukaku has now returned to the Chelsea camp where he will undergo further medicals. Later on, the officials will let know the fans about a possible return date for the striker.
Problem For Chelsea?
The upcoming matches are not very much tough for Chelsea, but they will surely miss Lukaku who has the potential to turn around the score in their favor. Chelsea will also miss Reece James, who injured himself against Manchester City.
