Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian striker for Everton, was forced off the pitch during the Mersey derby against Liverpool due to an ankle injury. There were concerns about the severity of the injury, especially with the upcoming World Cup. However, Everton manager Roberto Martinez provided reassurance by stating that Lukaku’s injury is not as serious as initially feared. It appears that no ligaments were affected, and Lukaku is expected to return in a matter of weeks rather than months. This news comes as a relief for both Everton and the Belgian national team, given Lukaku’s importance as a key player. Despite Lukaku’s absence, Everton suffered a defeat in the derby match against Liverpool.
