In the pre-match press conference for Napoli-Qarabag, a match valid for the fifth round of the League Phase of the Champions League, Antonio Conte provided an update on the situation regarding Romelu Lukaku’s injury. Lukaku is eager to return to the field after the injury he sustained in the middle of preseason.

Napoli, when will Lukaku return? A new date emerges for the Belgian’s comeback

These were the statements made by the Salento coach regarding the injury to his number 9: “Regarding Roma, I’ll answer right away: he’s not ready. Romelu still has work to do; we know how important he is. He’s a player recognized at the international level. He gives a lot, both when he plays and when he doesn’t and is in the locker room: he’s one of the most charismatic, and having him back from this point of view, since he had to recover in Belgium, is important because these are situations where you have to put on your helmet in an emergency, and everyone can contribute.”

The return of the former Inter player, therefore, will not be, as initially expected, against Roma at the Olimpico, a team he played for during the 2023/2024 football season. The Belgian striker will be fully available to Antonio Conte for the match against Juventus on December 7th.
