Lukaku, exams finished. Inter is waiting for him

The wait is over: today’s investigations, while the rest of the team was on the pitch, swept away the doubts. The return to the group will be gradual, between today and tomorrow, but at the Franchi Big Rom he wants to be on the bench

This afternoon Romelu Lukaku underwent the instrumental tests on the left thigh that has been tormenting him since August 28, when he was forced to stop. He was not on the pitch with his teammates at the resumption of training, but now it is a matter of hours, not days, to see him work with the rest of the team. After today’s investigations, particularly thorough and accurate to erase any risk margin, tomorrow morning in Appiano the Belgian will take stock of the situation with Inzaghi and the medical staff: it will be established whether he will return to sweat immediately with the or if he will do it from Thursday. Almost taken for granted, starting from tomorrow or Thursday, a gradual insertion. Like using him in the game.

SEE THE FRANCHI

If there are no surprises tomorrow, then, Big Rom will return to be called up for Saturday’s trip to Florence, when he sits on the bench. He could then be a starter with Viktoria Plzen, the match that can give the Nerazzurri access to the knockout stages of the Champions League. Lukaku in the past few days has undergone a re-athletic path to return to top condition, but he has never forced all the way. In particular, he did not shoot at 100%, a fundamental characteristic for his game. From tomorrow onwards this injury, which turned out to be much more annoying than what Inter and the striker initially thought, will be part of the past and the former United will try to get back to scoring. This season he has only played 3 matches out of 14: too few for those like Romelu who had returned from a disappointing season at Chelsea and had a great desire to be a protagonist.
