Not stopping there, his close friend, striker Lukaku, was also in a similar situation. The Belgian striker has just returned from the end of October after more than a month out due to a foot injury. However, the latest Lukaku has relapsed with a thigh muscle injury and the opportunity to attend the World Cup with Belgium is narrower than ever.
1 news came to Roberto Martinez when Lukaku was the main striker of the Belgian national team during the past years. Despite the "comedy" phases, the 29-year-old striker is still an indispensable name of the Red Devils in the context of Batshuayi and Benteke are hard to match.
With Lukaku's injury, Belgium's fans are very worried, on the contrary, Man Utd's fans are gloating. The reason is because Lukaku made a demeaning statement about Man Utd last summer when he moved to Chelsea from Inter Milan. He said: " Inter Milan pulled me out of nowhere " when leaving Man Utd to move to Inter Milan in the summer of 2020.
The pair of close friends Pogba and Lukaku made inappropriate statements and actions towards the old team when leaving and now they have to pay the price by their consecutive injuries. With both of these players, this could be their last World Cup now that they are 29 years old and Man Utd can rest assured that they were right to push the two 'viruses' out of the team.
