Lukaku breaches Napoli’s disciplinary rules. What did the striker do?

Romelu Lukaku and the Napoli hierarchy are in a highly strained, even critical, relationship, and the situation could now deteriorate further for the player.

Details: As reported by insider Fabrizio Romano, Romelu Lukaku failed to show up for Napoli’s training session despite being summoned by the club.

The club has already responded, stating that the Belgian striker will face disciplinary action.

Quote: "The club is considering the application of disciplinary measures, including the possible exclusion of Romelu Lukaku from the squad," the statement said.

Earlier, it was reported that the conflict erupted because Lukaku’s rehabilitation programme in Belgium had not been agreed with the medical and coaching staff of Napoli. Antonio Conte and his assistants expected the player to return to Naples as early as last Thursday.

Reminder: Romelu decided to continue training in Belgium, explaining that he needed to regain full fitness ahead of the final stage of the season and the 2026 World Cup. The club viewed such behaviour as a blatant breach of discipline.
