Chelsea feels confident that the 28-year-old Romelu Lukaku striker has avoided major injury after running a string of scans on Thursday, with high hopes that he will miss just two to three weeks.
No major damage
Lukaku suffered swelling but did not have any major injuries to his right ankle ligaments following a foul by Nielsen in the Blues’ 4-0 win over Malmo on Wednesday night. Next steps include how the £ 97.5m signing from Internazionale will respond to treatment in the next few days, and Chelsea head coach Tuchel will give a further update to Frisay in his press conference.
Romelu Lukaku strong boy
On Wednesday night Thomas Tuchel said Lukaku sprained his ankle with a foul in the box and Timo Werner had a hamstring injury. It will take some time for both of them. they need more exams to be more accurate, but they will go to some matches.
In addition, Romelu’s Pastorello agent told about his client’s injury that he was very worried because Lukaku is a player who really wants to play and the fact that he lay on the court for so long after a penalty does not seem good to him, because he the one who immediately gets up.
The fact that Romelu Lukaku was for four minutes, Pastorello was with Petr Cech, and Pastorello told him while watching the game that this is what he feared because he was not alone to make a fake scene. When Lukaku got up, Pastorello thought this was not a good sign and now they are waiting for exams, so they will soon learn something else.
But if you see pictures and videos of the injury, the position of the ankle is really under the weight of the body, but Romelu Lukaku is a strong boy and he wants to play every game so much, so he will be back stronger soon, Pastorello is sure.
Romelu Lukaku was really sad yesterday as the first reaction, but everyone saw that he was playing a good game and Pastorello is 100 percent sure that he would have scored goals if he had stayed on. Romelu was on fire, but he is really focused and will be focused on his recovery as soon as possible. Lukaku has physiology at home, so he works hard every night, even before he falls asleep, so if there is time to return it will be earlier than planned.
