Lukaku Nears Napoli Return, Skips Benfica Trip as Call-Up Looms for Udine and Supercoppa

Napoli aim to reintroduce the striker after a four‑month thigh injury layoff.

Overview

  • The Belgian trained on a differentiated program at Castel Volturno and told cameras, "See you soon."
  • He will remain in Naples rather than travel to Lisbon for Wednesday's Champions League match against Benfica.
  • Local reports indicate he is likely to be named in the squad for the Serie A trip to Udine and for the Riyadh contingent.
  • A brief comeback is viewed as most plausible for the Supercoppa Italiana semifinal against Milan on 18 December.
  • He has been out since 14 August with a high‑grade lesion to the left rectus femoris and has yet to play for Napoli this season.
