Romelu Lukaku Unavailable to Start for Belgium Due to Fitness

Belgium head coach Rudi Garcia confirmed that Romelu Lukaku cannot start the next game because of fitness concerns. Despite this, Lukaku’s brief appearance as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Egypt unsettled the opposition’s back line.

Garcia emphasized that once Lukaku regains full fitness, he will provide a significant boost to Belgium’s attacking options. The striker’s recovery timeline will shape the team’s tactical approach in upcoming fixtures.
