Conte Disappointed with Lukaku After Napoli's Victory
Following Napoli's 4-0 win over Cremonese on April 24, 2023, Antonio Conte, the Italian coach, expressed disappointment with striker Romelu Lukaku. Reports indicated that Lukaku visited the club's training ground but did not greet club officials, which surprised Conte.
The club is considering disciplinary measures against Lukaku, who had previously skipped training earlier in the week. The Belgian forward spent the international break in his home country recovering from an injury.
Despite his return to Italy, he has struggled with a persistent hamstring problem since August, managing only seven appearances this season. Conte noted that Lukaku knocked on the training ground door despite not meeting with club officials.
The 32-year-old faces a challenge in rebuilding his relationship with the coach as he aims to revive his chances of returning to the Belgium national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. His contract at Napoli runs until the end of next season.
