'I almost went crazy one day' - Lukaku describes life in isolation

Romelu Lukaku has lifted the lid on what life is like as an Inter player under quarantine, and revealed he was close to a move to their Serie A rivals Juventus when leaving Manchester United last summer.

The Belgium international and his Nerazzuri teammates took on Juventus before the suspension of Serie A and played against Daniele Rugani in that match. Rugani subsequently tested positive for Covid-19 and that diagnosis and their proximity to him sent the Inter squad into lockdown.

Lukaku says that being separated from his family has been a real struggle, but that the team is still taking care of him.
