In recent days, tension has risen a notch between Romelu Lukaku and Napoli. The reason? The Partenopei striker has chosen to extend his stay in Belgium in order to treat his physical problems. A decision poorly received by the Italian club which would not have given its agreement for this treatment. At a time when the transalpine press announces that Napoli is preparing to sanction its player, the latter has made an update on his social networks. “ This season was particularly trying for me, between my injury and a personal bereavement. I know there has been a lot of discussion about my situation in recent days, and it is important to clarify things. The truth is that for the past few weeks, I haven’t been feeling well physically. “, he initially indicated in a story published on his Instagram account.
“ I saw a doctor during my stay in Belgium, and tests revealed inflammation and fluid in my hip flexor, near my scar. This is the second problem I’ve encountered since my return at the beginning of November. I chose to do my rehabilitation in Belgium in order to be ready to help the team when I am called up. I think most of you saw the interview I gave in Verona. I could never abandon Naples, ever. There’s nothing I want more than to play and make my team win, but right now I need to make sure I’m at 100% of my physical capabilities, because that hasn’t been the case recently, and that’s had a negative impact on my morale. This year has been difficult, but in the end I will come back and help Napoli and the national team achieve their goals when I am called up… That’s all I want. »
