Romelu Lukaku participated in the second match against Belgium during the World Cup. While he entered the first game as a substitute, coach Rudi García opted to start him in the subsequent fixture. However, the Belgian striker was unable to remain on the field for the full duration due to physical issues, resulting in his substitution by the coach.
Despite this, these two appearances accumulated a total of 97 minutes for Lukaku during the World Cup. This accumulation of playing time represents a notable instance, as these two matches provided him with more minutes in the World Cup than he recorded throughout his entire season with Napoli. At the Italian club, Lukaku’s on-field time was limited to a total of 64 minutes due to persistent physical problems.
His contributions included 5 matches in Serie A, where he played a cumulative 40 minutes, 16 minutes in the Coppa Italia, and an additional 8 minutes.
