Anderlecht teenager Romelu Lukaku has been called up for Belgium to face Finland in a friendly next week despite objections from his club he is not fully fit following a knee injury.
The 17-year old was top scorer in the Belgian league last year and made his return from injury on Tuesday when he scored twice as a substitute during a 3-0 victory over Welsh club The New Saints in qualifying for the Champions League. Anderlecht warned however that it was too early for a full program for the striker.
Belgium coach Georges Leekens said he would take no risks with the player during Wednesday's friendly in Finland. Belgium opens its Euro 2012 qualifying campaign against Germany on Sept. 3.
