Freiberg Am Neckar, Germany: Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku is "scared to celebrate” when he scores after having three goals ruled out after video review at the European Championship, teammate Jérémy Doku said on Monday.

Lukaku had two goals overturned by VAR in Belgium's shock 1-0 loss to Slovakia last week, one for offside and one for an earlier handball by Loïs Openda.

VAR spotted another offside when Lukaku scored in the 2-0 win over Romania on Saturday that got Belgium's campaign on track.

Lukaku has yet to score a valid goal at Euro 2024 but Doku said his teammate remains upbeat.

"He would have liked to have the goals because, now when he scores, I think he's scared to celebrate,” Doku said.
