Roberto Martinezthe national coach, gave news of Romelu Lukakuleft injured in the 1-4 defeat of the Red Devils against the Netherlands in the League of Nations on Friday in Brussels. “It does not smell good“, assured Martinez at the microphone of RTL.
Lukaku was released with an injury after 25 minutes of play after contact with Nathan Aké which, however, seemed insignificant. On one of the replays, we can see Lukaku receiving an involuntary knee from Aké in the calf.
“It does not smell good“,” Martinez clarified. “Romelu was uncertain but we didn’t take him out as a precaution, he couldn’t continue. He’s going to have an MRI in the hospital and it might take 48 hours to find out more about his condition, but it doesn’t smell good.“
Lukaku was doubtful for the duel against the Netherlands after an injury suffered in training. After two days indoors, he trained on Thursday.
