Romelu Lukaku: ‘I shouldn’t have played in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup because of an injury’

belgian striker Romelu Lukaku said that at the start of the 2022 World Cup, he had no time to recover from injury, which is why he was unable to show a productive game in the tournament.

In the last 2022 World Cup, the Red Devils failed to qualify from the group with Morocco, Croatia and Canada, finishing third with 4 points from 3 matches.

“Playing for the national team is an honor for me. When you play in a tournament like the World Cup, you have to be efficient, but after the game against Canada, I felt something was wrong.

People don’t know that the only thing I could do was help the team. I injured my thigh muscle and in the month before the World Cup I didn’t train enough, I only did two training sessions before returning to the field after a three-month break, when I usually don’t play for another six weeks.

I said to myself: “This World Cup may be the last.” I shouldn’t have played the group stage. It was hard for me – I was there, but it felt like I wasn’t there. I was angry. That’s why I try not to let my emotions take over,” Lukaku told journalist Gianluca Di Marzio’s website.
