Chelsea star Lukaku in heap on floor in agony after being clouted by Mignolet

ROMELU LUKAKU is reportedly a doubt for Belgium's Nations League clash with Netherlands after he was clouted by Simon Mignolet in training on Wednesday.

The Chelsea striker, 29, was left in a heap on the floor in agony after he challenged the ex-Liverpool keeper in the air for the ball during a session.

Physios rushed onto the pitch to treat the Blues star as he laid on the ground in agony.

According to reports, the giant Belgian forward injured his ankle in the incident.

He was forced to sit out training today, with Belgium manager Roberto Martinez left sweating about his fitness for the match.

So far, the Belgium FA have yet to release a comment - and Lukaku hasn't left the camp.

It caps what has been a miserable time for Lukaku, who looks set to leave Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian moved for £97.5million last summer, but has failed to hit the same heights he did when he lead Inter to Serie A glory in the 2020-21 season.

After a strong start, Lukaku ended the league season on just eight goals, failing to be the answer to Thomas Tuchel's ongoing striker woes.

And now it looks like the partnership may be about to come to an end, with it being rumoured that the 29-year-old may be willing to take a pay cut to move back to Inter.

The Italian club believes the forward will accept a salary similar to the one he was earning in his first spell at the club.

This would see Lukaku's weekly wage drop to about £125,000 a week, down by nearly £3m from his earnings in West London.

A move back to the Italian capital has been rumoured since the beginning of the year.

A bombshell interview midway through the season saw Lukaku say: "I know I will return to Inter, I really hope so."

That saw many Blues fans turn their backs on their record signing, with the relationship seemingly fractured as ever.

The departure of Lukaku could be the catalyst for the new era at Stamford Bridge, as the club enter their first season in two decades under new ownership.
