Miraculous news has arrived for the fans of Napoli and head coach Antonio Conte: Romelu Lukaku has been included in the squad for the upcoming Italian Super Cup match against Milan.
This means the end of a long-lasting nightmare for the 32-year-old forward, who did not play in official matches of the 2025/26 campaign. Lukaku, having missed 124 days with a serious knee injury, suffered a sickle in the friendly match against Olympiakos.
Those that initially suffered minor injuries required surgical repair and left Napoli without a key striker for the entire first half of the season..
Lukaku and the team will fly to Riyadh, where the 18th century at the Al-Awwal Park stadium will be the Super Cup final against Milan. Although the Belgian is fully training his chest, the Italian press (La Repubblica, Corriere dello Sport) predicts that the match will mostly take place on the bench..
The medical headquarters has given permission for the game, but Conte plans to introduce the forward step by step, effectively, vikoristically as a joker in the other half.
The return of Lukaku is critically important for Napoli, who have lost their stability for the rest of the time, having recognized two defeats after the Serie A and Lisa champions. The team could not stand the physical effort of Romelu, thanks to the efforts of Lorenzo Lucchi and Rasmus Goylund, who replaced him.
The match against Milan will be a chance for Lukaku to turn his back on his team and help the team win their first trophy of the season, “re-invigorating” the campaign after the recent period.
