Romelu Lukaku is training with Belgium and will not appear in court in Los Angeles on Monday, Sky sources understand, after he was arrested over an excessive noise complaint in July following repeated warnings from police in July.

The Manchester United striker was cited for a misdemeanour after five verbal warnings at a Beverley Hills home where he was staying earlier in the summer.

Lukaku was on the verge of a £90m move to Manchester United from Everton when he was arrested at around 8pm on July 2.
