A defender was about to faint against Cagliari" Speaking in an Instagram live broadcast, Romelu Lukaku revealed some details about the health conditions of Inter players before the coronavirus outbreak. "In December we had a week off and when we returned, 23 out of 25 players were sick," the center forward told Kat Kerkhofs, wife of Napoli striker Dries Mertens (also present in the live broadcast). In particular, Lukaku recounted an incident that occurred during Inter-Cagliari: "One of our defenders (Skriniar, ed.) was forced to leave after a while, he couldn't continue and almost fainted. Almost all of us had a cough and fever." "That day," the former Manchester United player continued, "During the warm-up, I got hotter than usual and that bothered me. I hadn't had a fever in years.

After that match, I had a dinner planned with Puma, but I thanked them and went to bed. We weren't tested for coronavirus, we'll never know for sure." Lukaku recalled his initiatives: "I decided to donate €100.000 to the hospital in Milan. I'd never done anything like this before, I'd never thought about it. Here in Italy, I've been welcomed, and it's nice to support people in need."
