Napoli, Lukaku, recovery update: agent Pastorello reassures about return

"He's doing great, we spoke just yesterday. He's working hard in Brussels with the Belgian national team's physical trainers," Pastorello explained, reassuring fans and the club about the Belgian striker's health.

Romelu is a striker who shifts the balance. When he is on the field, he instills courage in his teammates and causes concern for rivals."

Expectations and motivations

The agent's message is clear: Lukaku is focused on recovery, determined to return to competitiveness, and ready to resume a leading role in Napoli, both in Serie A and in European competitions.
