Lukaku returns to Belgium again
Lukaku had remained in Belgium without his club’s consent during the March break, receiving a fine and being frozen out of the team.
He returned to Naples on Sunday after more than two weeks abroad and, according to Repubblica, met with the club’s directors on Monday morning.
According to the report, the meeting between the two parties was amicable and resulted in the striker receiving the green light to return to Belgium for individual training sessions.
Lukaku’s 2025-26 campaign was marred by a severe muscle injury suffered during the pre-season, which forced him to the sidelines for the first part of the campaign.
Lukaku spent seven months on the sidelines, starting no games with the Partenopei this season and scoring just one goal.
According to Italian reporter Nicolò Schira, Lukaku will be available again for Napoli in two weeks.
