Romelu Lukaku, the Napoli striker, has encountered another injury setback, this time an ankle injury while training in Belgium. The 32-year-old was rehabilitating from recurring thigh issues and had just returned to Belgium after a brief meeting with his club. Reports indicate that he was unable to complete an hour of training at the Bosuil training ground in Antwerp before injuring his ankle. This injury is distinct from the thigh strain that previously kept him out of action for several months in August 2025. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, Lukaku's participation is now in jeopardy, as this could be his last opportunity to shine on such a significant stage. Napoli is also likely to be affected, as an injured Lukaku would be harder to transfer during the summer transfer window.
