- ■ by NEIL McLEMAN

ROBERTO MARTINEZ claimed Romelu Lukaku can still have a “big impact” on the World Cup after naming Belgium’s record goalscorer in his 26-man squad.

Lukaku has played just 29 minutes for Inter Milan since August because of hamstring and thigh injuries.

The Red Devils play their opening match of the tournament against Canada on November 23.

And boss Martinez said: “Romelu Lukaku is continuing treatment but can still have a big impact.

“We will evaluate him on November 22.”

Premier League stars Kevin De Bruyne, Leander Dendoncker, Leandro Trossard and Amadou Onana are all included.
