Roma forward Romelu Lukaku underwent separate training at Trigoria this morning and is anticipated to be absent from Thursday’s Europa League encounter against Brighton.
The Belgian striker, Lukaku, was notably absent from the team’s training session at Trigoria on Wednesday morning, indicating his likely unavailability for Thursday’s Europa League match against Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Lukaku’s absence is not due to injury; however, he is expected to stay in Rome. With consideration to Lukaku’s less than optimal physical condition, manager Daniele De Rossi had already been contemplating starting Sardar Azmoun in the match against Brighton. Consequently, Lukaku, the Belgian forward, is expected to remain in the Italian capital.
De Rossi is set to finalize the Roma squad for tomorrow’s encounter with Brighton before the team departs for England later today.
In the previous leg of the Europa League Round of 16, Roma secured a convincing 4-0 victory over Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton at the Stadio Olimpico.
Their upcoming Serie A fixture will see them face Sassuolo at home on Sunday, March 17.
Throughout the current season, Lukaku has contributed significantly, tallying 18 goals in 36 appearances across various competitions.
