Romelu Lukaku’s agent has admitted that he felt “scared” about the Chelsea star following his ankle injury against Malmo.
The Belgium international limped off during the first half of the Blues’ 4-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. Indeed, he twisted his ankle in a challenge with Lasse Nielsen, which led to a penalty.
Boss Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Lukaku will be out for some time. Still, he stopped short of offering an idea of the timeframe for the striker’s absence.
However, according to The Sun, Lukaku in fact faces a month out with the ankle problem.
He will therefore miss Premier League games Norwich, Newcastle and Burnley.
