Lukaku is expected to sit out the Serie A match against Parma on Saturday and is reportedly likely to miss next Wednesday’s visit to the Spanish capital.
The news is a blow to head coach Antonio Conte, whose side have drawn each of their opening Group B matches with Borussia Monchengladbach and Shakhtar.
Lukaku has scored nine goals in 11 appearances in all competitions this season.
