Lukaku Faces Injury Assessment Ahead Of Arsenal Game

Evertons' Romelu Lukaku faces fitness test ahead of Arsenal clash.


Everton striker Romelu Lukaku faces an injury assessment ahead of this weekend's Premier League visit to Arsenal.

The Belgium international was substituted during the Blues' 3-1 win over Young Boys in the Europa League after his hamstring tightened up.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has revealed that Lukaku will undergo tests ahead of the trip to the Emirates Stadium, but was keen to stress that he is not suffering from any other issues.

"We're going to check Romelu [ahead of Sunday] - he was feeling a little bit tight but we didn't have any other knocks," the former Wigan Athletic boss told reporters.

Lukaku was on target twice during Everton's win over Young Boys, which saw the Toffees book their place in the last 16 of the competition with a 7-2 aggregate victory.
