Prayers up for big Belgian striker, Romelu Lukaku, as the Napoli forward announce the passing of his father, Roger Menama Lukaku.

Romelu Lukaku made the sad announcement a few hours on his official social media handle, where he posted a throwback childhood photo of himself and his now late Dad, taking a walk. He captioned the photo saying:

“I’m forever grateful and appreciate you.

Life will never be the same.

Protecting and guiding me like no else could.

I won’t be the same.

The Pain and tears are flowing big time.

But God will give me the strength to get myself back together.

Merci pour tout

Roger Menama Lukaku

Vieux Roy (for his friends),”the post said.
