Lukaku gets Belgium call-up for Euro QualifiersBRUSSELS: Belgium’s record scorer Romelu Lukaku has been called up to its squad for this month’s European Championship qualifiers, coach Domenico Tedesco said on Friday, despite the striker not yet playing this season.

Lukaku signed a one-year loan deal at AS Roma on Thursday and could start on the bench against AC Milan this weekend, but a call-up to the Belgium squad for its Group F matches against Azerbaijan and Estonia was never in doubt, the coach told a press conference.

“We have seen in recent international matches that Romelu is extremely important to us, both on and off the field,” Tedesco said. Agencies
