"SSC Napoli can confirm that Romelu Lukaku did not respond to today's call to return to training. The club reserves the right to consider taking the appropriate disciplinary action, as well as to determine whether the player will continue to train with the team for an indefinite period."
"The truth is the last few weeks I wasn't feeling right physically and I had it checked out while I was in Belgium and it showed that there was an inflammation and liquid on my hip flexor muscle next to my scar tissue."
"I could never turn my back on Napoli, never. There's nothing more I would love to do than play and win [for] my team. But right now I have to make sure I'm 100% physically cause I haven't been recently and it took a toll mentally."
Romelu Lukaku did not return to training with Napoli, leading to potential disciplinary action from the club. He withdrew from the Belgium squad for friendlies to seek treatment for an inflammation in his hip flexor. Lukaku has only played seven substitute appearances this season due to a hamstring injury. He expressed his commitment to Napoli but emphasized the need to be fully fit before returning to play. Napoli currently ranks third in Serie A, trailing Inter Milan by seven points.
