Tuttosport reports the Beneamata striker, who suffered an adductor injury in his left thigh against Shakhtar Donetsk last week, went through therapies as his teammates were in Spain playing Real Madrid in the Champions League last night.

The Belgian didn’t travel to the Spanish capital and Inter eventually lost 3-2 to Los Blancos, despite inspiring performances from Lautaro Martinez and Nicolò Barella in attack.

Ivan Perisic partnered the Argentine on Tuesday and could have to step in again this weekend, but Alexis Sanchez, who came off the bench in Madrid, is also back at Antonio Conte’s disposal.

The report claims risking Lukaku against La Dea this weekend, the last match before the international break, could lead to the striker being called up by Belgium.

The Red Devils play Switzerland in a friendly on November 11, before they face England and Demark in the UEFA Nations League.

Inter hope to keep Lukaku in Milan during the break, to fully recover the influential centre-forward and avoid risking further setbacks.
