Romelu Lukaku left the selection after the match against Italy, not making the trip to Budapest. Domenico Tedesco assured that his striker had required a knee injection and would not be able to train for several days.
However, it seemed quite obvious – and several sources affirmed it – that this departure of Romelu Lukaku was rather due to the elimination of the Red Devils in the Nations League. Especially considering the number of players who suddenly left the team at the same time – in addition to Lukaku, Onana, De Cuyper, Lavia and Theate also returned to the club.
Domenico Tedesco, however, affirmed at a press conference that there was “no agreement” with Romelu Lukaku. The Napoli striker would have had to undergo a knee injection, and would therefore not be able to train for several days, assured the coach.
Obviously, in Naples, this is not what you expect. “As far as I know, there is no particular problem with Lukaku and there will be none for the Roma match,” he said. Francesco Modugnofollower of Napoli for Sky Italiain an interview with Radio Mars.
“Of course, there is communication from Belgium, which has its procedure to respect, but we can be reassured. Romelu left the group as agreed and the Belgian coach needed an explanation to justify the situation internally,” continues Modugno.
“Tedesco talked about chronic problems, but if they are still there, why leave the team at this time? Lukaku’s war machine physique just means that you have to manage your efforts, and everyone knows that “, explains the Italian journalist again. “The little trip to the national team also did him good because Lukaku must play, gain pace and intensity.”
In short: barring any surprises, Romelu Lukaku will be in training this week with Naples… and this will once again give a very poor image of Belgian communication in this matter.
