Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku has been omitted from the squad for the upcoming match against Turkey and remains a major doubt for the subsequent fixture against Italy, according to reports from Football Italia.
The 31-year-old forward, who plays for Napoli, has been dealing with a physical issue that has kept him out of recent training sessions. Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco confirmed Lukaku's absence for the Turkey game on November 11, 2026, and indicated his participation against Italy is uncertain.
Lukaku has scored 85 goals in 115 appearances for Belgium, making him the nation's all-time leading scorer. His absence leaves a significant gap in the attack for the Red Devils as they prepare for two crucial Nations League matches.
