Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford, Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof will link up with the team-mates who flew back to the UK immediately after the 2-1 win over Real Madrid in Miami in our final match of Tour 2018, presented by Aon.

The quartet were involved in the latter rounds of the World Cup after Belgium, England and Sweden all advanced from the group stage in Russia. Lukaku played against both Rashford and Jones in the final weekend of the tournament as the Belgians beat the Three Lions 2-0 in the third-place play-off.

The fact the players have cut their holidays short to join the rest of their team-mates ahead of Sunday’s final pre-season fixture against Bayern Munich is undoubtedly a huge boost for the Reds, who have had to contend with the absence of several first-team players during the US tour.
