’23 out of 25 Inter Milan musicians were ill in January’

Here’s what Lukaku actually said 😛 TAGEND

We had a week off in December, we returned to work and I affirm that 23 out of 25 musicians were ill. I is definitely not kidding.

We frisked against Radja Nainggolan’s Cagliari and after about 25 times, one of our supporters had to leave the pitch. He could not continue and almost fainted.

Everyone was coughing and had a fever. When I was warming up, I felt a lot hotter than customary. I hadn’t suffered from a fever in years.

After the game there was a scheduled dinner with guests from Puma, but I thanked them and exited directly to bunked.

We never did the Covid-1 9 exams at the time, so we’ll never know for sure.

Note: with regard to the Cagliari-Inter game, the champion who needed to be subbed was Milan Skriniar.

Skriniar only represented 17 instants into that coincide on January 26.

At the time, Inter claimed on social media that Skriniar had felt dizzy after failing to recover from the flu.
