Napoli striker, Romelu Lukaku, failed to appear at scheduled training session on Tuesday, prompting the Italian club to consider disciplinary measures, including the possibility of excluding the Belgian striker from upcoming matches.
In an official statement, Napoli said, “We 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 Belgian striker’s absence comes amid growing tension between the club and the striker, though no reason for his failure to report has been publicly confirmed.
The club emphasised the seriousness of the situation, stating, “We expect all players to adhere to professional obligations, including attendance at training sessions.”
This development raises questions about Lukaku’s future at Napoli and could affect the club’s push in Serie A and European competitions if the issue is not resolved quickly.
Fans and pundits are closely monitoring the situation, as disciplinary action against a key striker could impact Napoli’s attacking strength in crucial upcoming fixtures.
