Romelu Lukaku: Belgium striker ruled out of England game

Published on: 27 June 2018

Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku has been ruled out of Thursday's World Cup game against England, which will decide who wins Group G.

The 25-year-old Manchester United player suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's 5-2 win against Tunisia.

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez said Lukaku had a scan which "brought us good news" but added the England game is "one day to early for him".

"I don't think it is going to take any longer than that," said Martinez.

Lukaku has scored four goals so far in Russia, one behind England's Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot.
