Romelu Lukaku could be fit to play for Inter against Sampdoria tomorrow after tests confirmed his thigh injury was not serious, according to a leading Italian broadcaster.

As per a report from Sky Sport Italia this morning, the Belgian international will not be risked in the starting XI but should be available for a place on Antonio Conte’s substitutes bench.

Lukaku took part in a light training session today and a final decision will be made in the next few hours on whether or not he will travel to Genoa for tomorrow’s match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
