Manchester United fans have understandably been concerned over Romelu Lukaku’s fitness ahead of the FA Cup this weekend, but his Belgium teammate Thibaut Courtios has provided an update which should help us relax.
Thibaut Courtois on the fitness of Belgium team mate Romelu Lukaku ahead of FA Cup final on Saturday – “Lukaku has been injured but he’ll be back for the game.”

This news comes as a relief with Lukaku being United’s main man up front all season. Ever since his injury against Arsenal, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have both been given opportunities, but only the latter has performed well by scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win over Watford last weekend.

That same game, Martial was supposed to start but left Old Trafford early due to a muscular injury.
Rashford, however, is still in with a chance of starting on Sunday against Chelsea, but Alexis Sanchez is more than likely going to take up the role out wide on the left.
Whether or not Mourinho tries to squeeze in Rashford remains to be seen.
Come on, Reds! 🇾🇪
