Romelu Lukaku he decided to give up his national team until the end of the year. All for Naples and for his mentor, Antonio Conte. Everything to speed up his inclusion on the Azzurri board, work, sweat and toil in Castel Volturno and recover the best physical shape as soon as possible to be available to the Lecce coach and his Napoli teammates in a reasonable time.
As reported The Morning the Belgian striker, all-time top scorer with the red devils (with 85 goals in 115 appearances and an average of 0.73 goals per game), will not take part in the group stage of the Nations League. Big Rom had already renounced the call-up for the first two matchdays last month and will do the same this time too. Not only that. The attacker appears to have communicated and agreed with coach Domenico Tedesco on the decision, postponing the appointment with his national team for next year’s World Cup qualifiers. With no international competitions on the horizon – at least until the end of the year – Lukaku has avoided an overload of commitments and given priority to Napoli. A choice that can make the difference for his season and that of the Azzurri.
