dailyloe.com – Romelu Lukaku is facing potential disciplinary action from his club, Napoli, after failing to return to training this week. The Belgian international striker had been with his national team for friendlies in North America. He withdrew from those matches but did not report back to his Italian club.
Lukaku returned to Belgium for treatment instead of joining Napoli’s squad. The club confirmed the situation in an official statement released on Tuesday. This absence compounds a difficult season for the 30-year-old forward.
Lukaku has made only seven appearances for Napoli this season. All of those appearances have come from the substitute’s bench. He missed the first part of the campaign with a serious hamstring injury.
His limited playing time follows a high-profile loan move from Chelsea last summer. The incident raises questions about player discipline and club management. Napoli will now decide on any formal sanctions for the player.[]
