Blow for Napoli as Lukaku faces fresh setback

Napoli have suffered another setback in their attempts to reintegrate Romelu Lukaku, with the striker still not ready to return to action after a lengthy and frustrating injury layoff.

More than four months on from the muscle injury sustained during pre-season, Lukaku’s recovery continues to be delayed, as per La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Despite brief optimism surrounding his recent call-up and travel to Riyadh, the Belgian is not yet able to step up his workload, and a return remains off the table for the coming weeks.
