Lukaku Suffers Hamstring Injury

Romelu Lukaku has suffered a new hamstring injury barely a week after making his return to action for Inter Milan, the Serie A club disclosed on Monday.

In a statement issued, Inter said Belgium striker Lukaku had picked up a “strain in the hamstring of his left thigh”, the same muscle that kept him missing in action for two months.

Coach Simone Inzaghi said Lukaku felt a problem with the scarring in his hamstring when he came on in Saturday’s win over Sampdoria and will miss Inter’s Champions League trip to Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

“He will have to rest for a few days and then he will be re-evaluated at the end of the week,” Inzaghi said.

This recent injury blow means he is also almost sure to be absent for Sunday’s clash at fierce rivals Juventus.

“It’s a slowdown we were hoping to not have as he was starting to give us a lot, hopefully we can have him back before the break,” Inzaghi further said.
