Romelu Lukaku could be in a position to return to training, while Alexis Sanchez is back but his fitness will need to be assessed after sustaining an injury while on Copa America duty with Chile.

Belgian striker Lukaku is yet to feature for the Reds in this summer’s pre-season games, but the boss gave an update after Tuesday’s 1-0 friendly win against Kristiansund.



“He [Lukaku] got injured so it was best for him to stay home,” Ole said in his post-match press conference in Oslo. “He wouldn’t have been able to play. He might be able to train in the next few days.”
