Romelu Lukaku is poised to make his return to competition this weekend, with the Belgian international expected to feature in Everton’s upcoming match against West Ham on the 28th day of the Premier League.
“Romelu worked very well, he looks fresh and ready to return to competition,” stated Roberto Martinez to EvertonTV. “We are all looking forward to seeing him in action again and performing at a very high level, with full energy.”
Having been sidelined for a month due to an ankle injury, the Toffees’ striker has now fully recovered and is ready to rejoin Everton’s attacking lineup. Lukaku’s return comes at a crucial time for Martinez, especially with the absence of Ivorian striker Lacina Traoré, who is sidelined with a hamstring muscle injury and will be unavailable for several weeks.
