Breaking News - No surgery for Lukaku: the Belgian will be out for 3 to 4 months

Napoli will have to do without Romelu Lukaku for the first part of the season. The Belgian suffered a significant injury during the last pre-season friendly against the Greek team Olympiacos. Important updates on his condition have arrived: after undergoing instrumental tests, it was decided not to opt for surgery, but the former Chelsea player will immediately begin the rehabilitation process to return as soon as possible to Antonio Conte's service. As reported by the Sky Sport editorial team, Lukaku will be out for 3 to 4 months and will be excluded from the Champions League list, which can be modified after the group stage.

Below is the official statement from Napoli: “Following the injury sustained in the match against Olympiacos, Romelu Lukaku underwent instrumental tests at the Pineta Grande Hospital, which revealed a high-grade lesion of the rectus femoris of the left thigh. The Azzurri player has already started the rehabilitation process and will also undergo surgical consultation.”

Manna is already working to find a replacement, possibly with a loan formula. Among the names considered are: Dovbyk and Hojlund, at the top of the list; contacts have also been made for Pinamonti from Sassuolo. Kean is an option, but his transfer fee is almost prohibitive. Also on the list are Arokodare, Embolo, Vlahovic, and Piccoli, with a suggestion leading to the name of Jamie Vardy.
