Madrid on edge, Inter will wait until the last second to confirm Lukaku

Inter want Lukaku to play the group stage match of the Champions League against Real Madrid, but he has a thigh problem, so he may not be able to travel to Spain. Even so, according to 'AS', the idea is to wait until the end to try and get him to participate.

The chances are low. Several Italian media estimate this and even Antonio Conte, the coach of the Belgian, who acknowledged that it will be difficult for him to play. However, he spoke of "forcing", so it's not that he can't be on the pitch, it's that it would be better for his physique if he were to be rested.

For Zidane, this could be a relief. He has not been at a good level in Europe's top competition and to be pitted against one of the continent's most voracious forwards could be fatal for the Madrid side. In their favour, the good result in the league against Huesca.

Whatever the consequences of Lukaku's withdrawal, he has little time left to deal with it. The match between Madrid and Inter will be on the 3rd of November, so he has two days ahead of him to test himself, talk to his coach and make a decision. Will he make the list?
