Fenerbahçe has last-minute added Romelu Lukaku to their Champions League roster. This means he is technically eligible to play in the final qualifying round against Lyon.

Lukaku, who is 33 years old, could make his debut for the Turkish club tomorrow. The match will take place in Istanbul, where Fenerbahçe will host Lyon.

Although he is now on the roster, the chances of him actually playing are considered low, according to various sources.
