Romelu Lukaku "gutted" by Belgium withdrawal

Romelu Lukaku has admitted that he is "gutted" to pull out of the Belgium squad through injury.

The Everton striker has been forced to miss his country's Euro 2016 qualifiers against Cyprus and Israel due to a hamstring strain.

Lukaku, 21, is expected to fit when his club returns to Premier League action at the start of next month.

Gutted to not being able to play for my national team because of an injury in my hamstring. I wish them all the best for both games! 👍😊
