The tension rises a notch between Napoli and Romelu Lukaku. Monday, on the sidelines of the clash of the 31st day against AC Milan, finally won by the Partenopei, the reigning Italian champion publicly expressed his annoyance at the decision of his Belgian striker to stay in Belgium to treat an inflammation in his hip. Although the 32-year-old tried to defuse the controversy on Instagram by affirming that he could “never turn his back on Naples”, his absence from group training goes down badly with his management. As a reminder, the striker has only played 64 minutes since his return from injury in January.
The Neapolitan sports director, Giovanni Manna, also made very firm remarks at the microphone of DAZNannouncing upcoming sanctions for the Red Devil: “ Romelu decided to stay in Belgium to train and recover from his injury. We are not happy, because we would have liked to speak with him here in Naples. He should be back next week and he knows there will be consequences. » The striker’s return to Campania next week promises to be particularly electric.
