LUKAKU IN CONTENTION FOR ENGLAND
Romelu Lukaku has shrugged off a knock to his ankle and is winning the race to be fit against England but even if he is fit, may not make the starting XI. Belgium boss Roberto Martinez promised to make changes after seeing his side secure a place in the Round of 16. Martinez, in his press conference, issued the update about Lukaku and said, ”The next 48 hours will tell us if Romelu Lukaku will be involved against England or not. He had a scan today. And there was no further damage.”
UNTIED MAY SIGN LUKE SHAW TO NEW DEAL

There is still hope that Shaw can regain his fitness and finally cement his status as United’s No. 1 left back after playing second fiddle to Ashley Young last season.
