The Sporting Judge’s final verdict on Romelu Lukaku’s suspension is yet to be released.

Following his red card in the match against Fiorentina, Lukaku is uncertain of when he will be allowed to step back on the pitch in Serie A.

The Belgian striker is guaranteed to play in the Europa League on Thursday night with Sheriff Tiraspol.

However, he is set to miss the match against Bologna and remains doubtful for Napoli.

According to Corriere della Sera, Roma are convinced Lukaku’s suspension will be restricted only to one match in Serie A. However, if found guilty of violent conduct, Lukaku could also be suspended for the big showdown with Napoli.
