Man United summer signing Romelu Lukaku is currently struggling with an injury on his ankle, and there are speculations that Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez will be risking the talented striker for the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina this Saturday.
Romelu has been superb this season for his new side after moving to Old Trafford during the summer transfer window from Everton. He has been able to score 11 goals in his opening ten games for the red devils and has beat some early records set by some of United’s legend like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Eric Cantona.
The talented player had scans on his ankle on Monday and has missed three consecutive days of training with his national side in the lead-up to their World Cup qualifying game this weekend.
There are reports that the national team want him to remain with their camp and that he will be starting their game on Saturday.
The centre-forward required pain-killing injections ahead of last weekend’s premier league game against Crystal Palace, and it is widely feared that featuring him in the Bosnia game this weekend would be very risky.
It is understood that there are fears at Old Trafford that Lukaku’s ankle injury could get aggravated before their important clash against Liverpool after the international break at Anfield.
Man United boss Jose Mourinho will be hoping the former Everton striker is rested this weekend by Martinez.
