Recall: The forward suffered a significant muscle injury in a preseason match against Olympiacos in August and went to Belgium this week for specialized treatment.

Initially, Lukaku hoped to return for the Serie A match against Atalanta on November 22. However, after his recent examination in Brussels, he was informed that he will not be able to play until December.

To fill the gap left by the Belgian forward, Napoli has already signed former Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund.

Last season, Lukaku played 38 matches for Napoli, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists.
