Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku is reportedly a doubt for the club’s next Premier League game against Watford at the end of the month as a result of a troublesome foot injury that has already ruled him out of international duty for Belgium this month.
Lukaku initially suffered the injury during the heroic 3-2 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain.
He is then believed to have suffered a knock against Arsenal and was forced to miss the FA Cup quarter final defeat at the hands of Wolves last weekend.
The player still linked up with the Belgium national team, but he had to skip training at the start of the week to have a scan and was subsequently released from the squad.
With United in desperate need of a win when they host Watford at Old Trafford to reaffirm their claim for a Premier League top four place, Lukaku has just over a week to make himself ready.
That may be easier said than done as, according to The Sun, the 25-year-old has apparently been advised to take a full week off before resuming training, meaning he would only have a couple of days at most to prepare for the Hornets.
