Maybe, but Lukaku’s injury record is good and he’s made lifestyle changes and put in the hard work evidently to be in the best shape of his career.
An undiagnosed issue with his gut and digestion were the reason for his weight gain.
It’s not something you can predict based on when they started their professional careers. Some go on to play from 16 through to mid-30s no problem, some are plagued by injuries or lack of motivation.
Using a smoking, drinking, granny shagging as an example doesn’t hold water, and neither does Sanchez really who’s cracking on to 33 with 800 games under his belt. He’s had a few injury set backs recently but he’s played 30 matches already this season and has only dipped below 30 games played in one season.
If a player plays 800 games and is done by 32, what’s the difference between that and someone who plays 800 games over a longer period? Their peaks will have been and past.
