Romelu Lukaku to miss Belgium’s Nations League meeting with Turkey

Romelu Lukaku will miss Belgium’s Nations League match against Turkey because of a minor hip problem.

The Belgium national team confirmed that the Napoli striker has been ruled out after reporting slight discomfort in the area. He will therefore be unavailable for the Group A fixture in League A.

Lukaku’s absence is a setback for Belgium as they prepare for their Nations League meeting with Turkey during the international break.

Belgium are scheduled to face both Turkey and Italy during the current international window.

Turkey are third in the Nations League standings with six points, one behind Italy, who occupy second place and currently hold the position that leads to the quarter-finals.
