Former Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku rocked up to Milan Fashion Week in style on Friday after being left out of Belgium’s latest Nations League squad.
The Belgian international, who signed for Serie A giants Inter on loan, just one year after leaving them for Chelsea in a whopping £97.5million deal – has found other ways to entertain himself after missing out on international duty.
The 29-year-old showed up to the Versace Show, posed for pictures, and sat in the front row to watch the show.

Roberto Martinez left him out of Belgium’s squad for their upcoming Nations League games as a precaution.
Lukaku sustained a thigh injury in training at the end of last month, causing him to miss a derby defeat to Milan and Champions League fixtures against Bayern Munich and Viktoria Plzen.
The striker, who is Belgium’s record goalscorer with 68 goals in 102 senior caps, also appears doubtful for the Nerazzurri’s Serie A tussle with Udinese on Sunday.

‘Romelu is making good progress, his recovery is going in the right direction,’ Belgium manager Martinez said.
‘He will probably return to Inter within a week, not calling him was a prudent choice.
‘With Romelu it was important not to risk, because a relapse with an injury of this type would be very risky in view of the World Cup.’
Lukaku has only played three times out of Inter’s opening seven Serie A fixtures due to injury – finding the net just once.
Kevin De Bruyne’s first-half masterclass was enough for Belgium to beat Wales 2-1 in the Nations League on Thursday evening, even without their star striker.
Belgium will now take on Holland in their final Nations League clash on Sunday as they bid to knock their opponents off the top of the Group A4 table.
