Inter Milan striker, Romelu Lukaku is set to miss the match against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu as he is out due to a Muscle injury from the last UEFA Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Equity News understands that Lukaku’s absence would be an advantage to the host as the Belgian has scored 7 goals in 7 games in all competition this season.
The “big lad’ poses both aerial and poacher skills in the opposition final third as his absence would be greatly missed by Antonio Conte’s squad.
Lukaku-Martinez combination has wreck havoc in both Serie A and in the Europa League last season after finishing third in Group F behind Barcelona and Dortmund.
They dropped to the Europa League and almost went the whole way losing in the final to Sevilla.
Inter faces another La Liga giant in Real Madrid this season with two consecutive matches against Madrid in the UCL.
Madrid already has Eden Hazard back from injury and scored against Huesca.
Inter is 3rd on the group with two draws from two games and Real Madrid is last on the group with 1 draw and 1 loss – losing against Inter Milan could put the Los Blancos possibility of qualifying at risk.
Lukaku should be back before the next UCL game against Real at the San Siro.
