‘Bring him back’- Chelsea fans request for the return of Lukaku after his UCL performance
Romelu Lukaku was back among the goals as his late strike against FC Porto gave Inter Milan a well-deserved win in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday
The 29-year-old forward, who was recently taunted for being overweight, came into the game as a second-half substitute for Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko. Lukaku wasted no time getting his name on the scoresheet, by reacting quickest to a rebound after his initial header ricocheted off the post.
Fans, especially supporters of his parent club, Chelsea, raved about the performance and they have taken to social media to cry out to their owners to bring back the Belgian forward, who is currently on loan with the Nerazzurris until the end of the ongoing season.

Lukaku has found it hard to command playing time with the Italian giants due to a series of injuries that have kept him out of action for a sometime. The goal against Porto was his fourth in all competitions and the second in the Champions League this season since his strike against Viktoria Plzen in the group phase.
Inter Milan will travel to Portugal to face the Dragons at the Estadio do Dragao for the second leg in three weeks.
