Lukaku included in Belgium’s World Cup squad despite injury-plagued season

Belgium have included striker Romelu Lukaku in their World Cup squad despite him playing only an hour of competitive football this season. Lukaku has been rehabilitating after a hamstring injury and has not started for Napoli this season, making seven substitute appearances. Coach Rudi Garcia has gambled on his fitness for the tournament, where Belgium are in Group G. Lukaku has scored 89 times for Belgium and has been included alongside promising attacker Matias Fernandez-Pardo and injured defender Zeno Debast.
