Thierry Henry has admitted he was left "worried" by Romelu Lukaku's state of mind after the World Cup but revealed he messaged him everyday to check on his mental and physical wellbeing.
Lukaku, 30, endured a nightmare tournament in Qatar after struggling with injuries and missing several chances in Belgium's do-or-die final group game against Croatia. The Inter Milan striker came on for the second-half of their game at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium with Belgium needing to win to qualify for the last-16.
However, Roberto Martinez's side were held to a 0-0 draw as Croatia, who ended up reaching the semi-finals, squeezed through alongside Morocco in Group F. Lukaku cut a dejected figure after the game and was captured in tears as he also broke the dugout with a series of punches.
