Exam day for Lukakuwaiting day for Simone Inzaghi and with him for all the fans ofInter. What is certain is that today the Belgian did not take the field at Pinetina together with his teammates because theengaged in medical checks necessary to evaluate the evolution of the muscular problem (injury to the flexor) that has kept him on the sidelines since 28 August. Fifty days in which Big Rom he chased a painful recovery and a return that finally seems very close: if everything goes as expected, between tomorrow and after the Belgian will be able to return to training with his teammates, thus targeting Saturday night’s trip to Florence. Objective at this fundamental point to think of being able to review it protagonist in the Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen: a bench against Fiorentina and maybe a few minutes on the pitch are the necessary pre-condition to imagine him as a starter in Europe on Wednesday 26 October. On the other hand, it should be emphasized that a further postponement would tinge the situation yellow: caution in the process of recovery from a muscle injury is very necessary and necessary, mind you, but even this week Lukaku were he not in the physical condition to rejoin the group it would be more legitimate than ever to speak of “chance”, considering that it was Inzaghi himself who spoke of a possible / probable return for the match against Roma last October 1st. From there, however, postponement after postponement has reached the end of the month, adding at least twenty days to the initial forecasts. And how much a Lukaku in good condition it would be useful and fundamental is a banal obviousness, especially in such a busy calendar that between Champions (with the round of 16 in play) and championship (with a recourse that, among others, will have to pass from here to the World break for the challenges with Juve and Atalanta) will see Inter play a good chunk of this anomalous season already in the next three weeks. But, apparently, there we are. At the end of this crucial day, in fact, a cautious but motivated optimism prevails: the exams, from what filters out, have been satisfactory. Inzaghi and the whole Inter world are thus confident in the return of Big Rom.
