Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian international striker, has been sidelined from the Premier League due to an ankle injury sustained during the Mersey Derby against Liverpool on January 28th, where Everton suffered a 4-0 defeat. However, Lukaku is expected to return to action with Everton on March 1st against West Ham United in the league.
In an interview on the show La Tribune broadcast on RTBF, Lukaku expressed his eagerness to return to fitness and help the team, especially considering Everton’s recent results have not met expectations.
