Lukaku Returns to Belgium to Complete His Treatment.. Napoli Prepares Højlund

The Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku has returned to his country in coordination with Napoli, to complete his treatment program and recover better from the muscle injury that has kept him off the field since the end of March, in preparation for the upcoming World Cup.

Lukaku experienced a complicated season with Napoli after the severe injury he suffered during the summer preparation period against Olympiacos, which caused him to be absent for more than five months. He will continue his recovery process in his country in coordination with the Belgian Football Association and his club Napoli.

The Belgian striker could not make a significant impact this season, as he only managed to score one goal against Hellas Verona, which was a decisive goal for the Italian team.

In light of Lukaku's continued absence, Napoli is preparing to rely on the Danish striker Rasmus Højlund for the remaining matches of the season, amid reports confirming the club's desire to activate the clause to purchase his contract permanently from Manchester United.

Despite Højlund's recent decline in scoring numbers, Napoli's management believes that the player still possesses great potential that can be built upon in the future within the team's technical project.
