Semi-finalists of the last World Cup, Belgium are preparing their debut in the 2022 edition of the tournament, against Canada on the 23rd. But the team’s participation in the event could begin without having one of its main highlights, Romelu Lukaku.

The Inter Milan striker has been plagued with injuries at the start of this season and a thigh problem has troubled the player. He was still called up by coach Roberto Martínez but he may not be able to enter the field against the Canadians, as Lance indicates!

Lukaku will no longer defend the Red Devils this Friday (18) against Egypt, in the friendly preparatory final of the Belgian team for the Cup. There is a risk that the player will not even play the first phase and will only be available from the round of 16, if the team qualifies for this phase of the Cup.

Injury treatment is continuing and concern over the condition of one of the Belgian team’s most important athletes is high, as he has made just five appearances for Inter so far. the 2022/23 season. The striker trained separately, alongside Thorgan Hazard and Jan Vertonghen, as happened on Wednesday, in preparation for the game against Egypt.

For now, the confidence of the Belgian coaches is that Lukaku will be on the pitch, at least in the round of 16, to maintain the team’s chances of returning to a successful World Cup campaign and having the chance to win an unprecedented title for the country.
