Romelu Lukaku has sparked a major rift at Napoli after reportedly refusing to return to the club's Castel Volturno training base. The veteran striker had recently withdrawn from international duty to focus on regaining full fitness, but has opted to stay in Belgium against the wishes of club officials and manager Antonio Conte.
Romelu Lukaku has officially withdrawn from the upcoming Belgium squad for their international friendlies against the United States and Mexico. The experienced Napoli striker is recovering from a long-term hamstring injury and has chosen to stay in Italy to focus on regaining his full fitness ahead of this summer's highly anticipated World Cup tournament.
Rasmus Hojlund has candidly reflected on the professional and mental toll his difficult spell at Manchester United took on him, admitting he feared his top-level career was in jeopardy. The Danish international has looked like a player reborn since sliding away from Old Trafford, finding a new lease of life in Italy.
The Belgian striker has pulled out of the friendly matches and is back in training to make a full recovery and get back to full fitness as soon as possible.
As in November, the manager will not be with the team when training resumes, as he will be taking some time out to recharge his batteries ahead of the crucial clash with Milan.
