Romelu Lukaku will not return to the green fields in the near future.
Idman.Biz reports that the return of striker Romelu Lukaku to the "Napoli" squad has been postponed again.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, despite the fact that more than four months have passed since the muscle injury he received during pre-season training, the player's return has not yet materialized.
Despite the brief optimism regarding his recent call-up to the national team and his trip to Riyadh, the Belgian is currently unable to increase his workload, and his return to the team in the coming weeks is in question.
Lukaku is struggling with a serious straight thigh muscle injury on his left leg, and the club management does not want to take any risks after a long break. As a result, Romelu's participation in the upcoming games has been ruled out, and even his return at the end of January is considered uncertain.
This situation is expected to affect Napoli's plans for the January transfer window. Club head coach Antonio Conte had hoped that Lukaku's return would stabilize his attacking rotation. However, the player's continued absence forces him to rethink another player.
Rasmus Hoylund remains the main player in the attack, and the club will have to decide whether additional transfers are needed. Due to the club's difficult financial situation, any step will depend on Lukaku's recovery time.
