In this match it was very clear that Lukaku absence from the squad meant they couldn't win easily. The absence of a figure who could break the deadlock would make their coming weeks in Serie A difficult. Fortunately after Cagliari put up a fierce fight, they finally conceded in the final seconds. Conte must start thinking about finding Lukaku replacement in the front line as soon as possible, considering the transfer window is closing soon.
Yes, Lukaku is an important player, however not counting on him is a bit complicated, what I like about Lukaku is that he has a physique that draws marks and that is very Important in football, the physical game that he proposes thanks to his physical appearance and strength commands respect in his rivals, before marking Lukaku you have to consider that you are Against a very big man and that they have to come in with a lot of strength and Technique.
