You can find out the Inter players who have been called up to represent their countries here.
LUKAKU SCORES AS BELGIUM WIN
Unstoppable, as always. Once again, Romelu Lukaku made his mark for Belgium, finding the net in the 73rd minute from the penalty spot. As usual, he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way. The Nerazzurri striker scored his country's third and final goal in Belgium's 3-1 victory over Wales, who initially took the lead. However, goals from De Brune and T.Hazard turned things around prior to Romelu's finish from twelve yards. Lukaku has now bagged 34 goals in his last 29 appearances for his National Team. In total, he's found the net 58 times in 90 matches for the Red Devils, whose journey to Qatar 2022 has begun in excellent fashion.
