Romelu Lukaku has officially been named in Belgium’s World Cup squad, marking his return from a challenging bout with injuries. The Napoli striker rejoins his teammates, bringing his wealth of experience as Belgium’s campaign kicks off in Group G.
With stars like Kevin de Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois also set for their fourth World Cup appearances, Belgium aims to capitalize on their veteran presence. Injuries have been a hurdle for the team, with Lukaku playing only five Serie A games this season and Courtois missing recent national team call-ups.
However, the squad also includes young talents like Jeremy Doku, adding fresh strength to their attack. Belgium is determined to improve upon its 2018 third-place performance as it prepares to face Egypt, Iran, and New Zealand in the group stages.
