Lukaku's Hat-trick Overshadowed by Month-Long Injury
Romelu Lukaku's impressive performance in the Champions League was marred by an injury that will sideline him for a month. The Belgian striker scored all three goals in Inter Milan's 3-0 win over Slavia Prague, but tests later revealed a muscle strain in his left hamstring. This injury will keep him out of Inter's Serie A match against Cremonese on Saturday.
Lukaku's injury comes at a crucial time for Inter, who are currently leading their Champions League group alongside France. The French team, led by coach Didier Deschamps, tops Group D with a perfect six points from their first two matches. Iceland follows closely with three points.
Lukaku's recovery is expected to take around a month, which could see him miss more matches for Inter. Meanwhile, France prepares for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers, with Deschamps set to announce his squad on Thursday. There's no specific information about a French player expected to miss the match against Azerbaijan on October 10 due to a muscle injury, but the team does include players like Hugo Ekitike, who recently recovered from an issue.
Lukaku's injury is a setback for Inter, but they will hope to continue their good form in his absence. France, meanwhile, will look to maintain their perfect record in Group D and secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
