Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku sidelined from friendly against Ireland due to injury

Belgium Striker Lukaku Ruled Out of Friendly Match Against Republic of Ireland Due to Groin Injury

Belgium’s striker Romelu Lukaku will miss Saturday’s friendly against the Republic of Ireland due to a groin injury. The Belgian FA released a statement saying Lukaku is not fit for the game due to a slightly overloaded groin. He will travel with the team to Ireland and England.

This comes as another blow to Belgium’s preparation for the European Championship, as Lukaku joins Kevin De Bruyne on the sidelines for the upcoming match. Belgium will face Ireland on Saturday and England next Tuesday in their preparation for the tournament.

The absence of Lukaku in the friendly match against Ireland is a setback for Belgium, as they will now have to rely on other players to step up in his absence. The team will have to adjust its strategy and tactics to cope with the absence of their star striker.
