Win without Romelu Lukaku? Many thought this was almost impossible for the Red Devils.
We saw against Italy that his presence might not be enough and that the problems of the national team go further than the presence or absence of the best Belgian scorer in history.
A new absence
A player who ultimately only played one of the six matches on the program since for this Sunday’s trip, he was once again unavailable. Suffering from inflammation, he had to receive an infiltration and therefore returned to Naples earlier than planned.
But how fit is the player? If his injury is real, it is not very serious and his absence against Israel could be more a way of not taking any risks rather than total unavailability. Because in Serie A, it is with a duel against Roma that Naples will resume.
“I’m ready”
A duel against his former team which arrives after a defeat against Atalanta and a draw against Inter. A meeting for which the player declares himself ready: “I am ready for Roma,” he declared laconically to Il Mattino.
For Big Rom, we will have to try to be decisive again in the championship to help his team stay at the top of the standings. As for the Red Devils, the next deadline is in March and the player therefore has time to score goals and take care of himself.
While he was unable to attend the first two meetings for the League of Nations, he agreed to return in November. Difficult to know, even if things are going well physically, if he will be there in March or if he will stay in Naples.
