Arab mission, Napoli towards the third historic Super Cup

Romelu Lukaku is heading to Saudi Arabia with his teammates for the Italian Super Cup. The first match is the semi-final against Milan on December 18, a date that fans should mark in red.

"Big Rom" can sit comfortably on the bench and return to the call-up for the first time in 4 months since the injury in "Castel di Sangro".

To overcome the serious injury to his femoral muscle, the Belgian striker decided not to have surgery and to follow a conservative therapy. An operation would have required more recovery time and the risk would have been that he would arrive at the World Cup out of shape.

However, conservative therapy has its drawbacks. The return to the field must be gradual and it is not guaranteed that it has fully worked. Lukaku has now been in Naples for a month and is continuing his rehabilitation process.

Body weight is normal, but athletic condition is still far from that visible form during summer preparations in Dimaro and "Castel di Sangro", where he looked in excellent shape.

Now he has to get that level back. In Saudi Arabia, Lukaku will most likely not play. Conte took him with him to be part of the group, on the bench, and to help his teammates.

It is important that "Big Rom" lives the locker room environment and gives his contribution to the team. His return to the field will be decided in January. Napoli staff want to make sure that Lukaku does not risk anything, even for just 10 minutes of play.
