Belgium coach Tedesco: Lukaku has handled Roma pressure well

Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco says he's been happy with Romelu Lukaku's form with AS Roma.

Tedesco was pleased when the Chelsea striker joined Roma on-loan for the season.

Tedesco said, “Complicated. He arrived at Roma once the season had started, he was training with the Chelsea second team, he did all the preparation without knowing what would become of him.

"I was very happy when I learned that he would return to Italy.

“And in Rome he was immediately a protagonist, it's tough for someone who came from a summer like that. When you sign Romelu the expectations are high, but he handles the pressure with incredible calm."
