Police called to hotel to break up Inter Milan star Romelu Lukaku birthday party - reports

Romelu Lukaku could be in trouble after police were called to break up a birthday party for the Inter Milan star at a hotel. The bash breached Italy's strict Covid-19 regulations with several team-mates in attendance at the party. Inter are in the midst of celebrating their Serie A title success with Lukaku scoring 22 goals this season.

Milan police attended a hotel in the centre of the city in the early hours of Thursday morning and found more than 20 people in a restaurant, the report from the news agency ANSA said, as Lukaku hosted a party to celebrate his 28th birthday, which fell on Thursday.

Regulations in Milan, which is in one of Italy's Yellow Zones, include a curfew between 2200 and 0500 with breaches resulting in fines.

Lukaku had scored a last-minute goal in Inter's 3-1 home win over AS Roma a few hours before the party.
