Lukaku was subbed on for the last 30 minutes and provided the only goal in the 1-0 win over West Ham on Saturday.

It didn't take Lukaku long to get right back into scoring form. He is a beast and without him, Everton are a different team. Look for Lukaku to be back in the starting XI in their next Premier League match, which comes March 15 against Cardiff City at home.

Lukaku has returned to training as he looks to return from an ankle injury he suffered in January, the Daily Mail reports. Lukaku is ineligible to play against Chelsea, his parent club, on Saturday and is looking to return for the March 1 match against West Ham United.

Lukaku started off the year strong, scoring eight goals in his first nine matches after joining Everton on loan. In the 10 matches following his hot start, he has managed just one goal but has picked up four assists. If he can regain his goal-scoring form from earlier in the season, he should once again be considered a top striker.

Lukaku (ankle) is planning to return to play March 1 when Everton take on West Ham United, ESPN reports. Everton manager, Roberto Martinez, would not rule out the possibility that Lukaku could play in the FA Cup match against Swansea City on Sunday but felt a March 1 return was more realistic.

Lukaku has been out with an ankle injury since January 28 and his return will certainly help Everton in their fight to finish in a place to play in European competition next season. Lukaku will hope to regain the form he had when he first joined Everton on loan. He scored eight goals in his first nine matches with Everton but has scored just one goal since the start of December.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez said Thursday that Lukaku (ankle) "will be back well before the final seven or eight games of the season. We had very good news in that respect. The structure of the ankle is fine and he sustained no ligament damage. It is badly, badly bruised but it is not a matter of months as we expected."

Lukaku suffered the injury early in Tuesday's Merseyside derby and had to be stretchered off the field. It's certainly a positive that he won't miss the rest of the season, but he could miss up to six Premier League matches given Martinez's timetable.

Lukaku is expected to miss at least the next four weeks after suffering an ankle injury in Tuesday's Merseyside derby, the Daily Mail reports. Manager Roberto Martinez said "There is no ligament damage and the injury is not as bad as we first thought. It will be a case of weeks rather than months."

Lukaku had to be carried off on a stretcher after less than half-an-hour into the match, and replaced by Steven Naismith. Lukaku has been a solid fantasy performer overall this season, although the loanee from Chelsea had been a bit cold on the scoring front lately. It's certainly good news that he'll be out weeks instead of months, but it's certainly a big hit to the Everton attack.

Lukaku, who injured his ankle during Tuesday's Merseyside derby, was seen wearing a cast after the match, according to Henry Winter of the Daily Telegraph.

Winter speculates that Lukaku suffered ligament damage while colliding with teammate Gareth Barry during the match. The striker had to come off after just 25 minutes Tuesday, although the severity of the injury won't be known until he undergoes a more thorough scan.

Lukaku was able to provide an assist on a Kevin Mirallas goal in the 1-1 draw against West Brom on Monday.

Once again, Lukaku was able to contribute without scoring. It was hard to find Lukaku at first without his signature dreadlocks, but that didn't prevent him from using his head to assist on the early goal. Lukaku is a top-notch fantasy option and could be in contention for young footballer of the year with the form he's in.
