Inter Milan announced that its Belgian star, Romelu Lukaku, had a new muscle injury, and his condition will be evaluated again in the next few days. Inter's on-loan striker Lukaku has suffered another injury setback just three weeks before the World Cup gets underway in Qatar. The Belgium international only returned last week after spending two months on the sidelines with a thigh injury, scoring on his comeback in a 4-0 Champions League rout of Viktoria Plzen. Lukaku came off the bench in a 3-0 Serie A win over Sampdoria on Saturday, but it remains to be seen when he will be in action again. Inter on Monday revealed he has done damage to his hamstring and faces a wait to discover the extent of the damage.
Now queries on how long the player will remain off the pitch and how ready he is to play in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, which kicks off on November 20. Inter has already qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League and Lukaku will miss Bayern Munich tomorrow, where the Nerazzurri will face Juventus, Bologna, and Atalanta in the league before the World Cup holiday.
Lukaku returned to Inter Milan on loan from Chelsea last summer and the Nerazzurri are planning to extend his stay at the club beyond 2023
