Unused versus Copenhagen Lukaku (thigh) wasn't fielded in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Copenhagen.

Impact Lukaku wasn't deployed even though Napoli were pushing for a goal throughout the second half, as the coaching staff elected to be cautious. He'll likely make only some small cameos for a while while he works his way back to full fitness.

Bench option in UCL match Lukaku (thigh) is on the bench for Tuesday's clash with Copenhagen.

Impact Lukaku could add some offensive power in the second half but is unlikely to see a lot of minutes after being sidelined since the beginning of the season. The experienced striker will challenge Rasmus Hojlund in the lone center-forward spot.

Set to return from injury Lukaku (thigh) "has trained fully for multiple days in a row and is technically recovered, then the choice is up to the coach," Napoli doctor Raffaele Canonico announced.

Impact Lukaku has completed a long rehab from a major thigh injury and is poised to be available for the first time in the season. He'll split duties and partner with Rasmus Hojlund up front. He registered 14 goals, 10 assists and 64 (24 on target) last year, but he'll have a smaller role at first.

Rasmus Hojlund reborn: How Antonio Conte got Man Utd misfit firing again for Napoli

Will need more time to be ready Lukaku (thigh) will likely miss two or three more weeks, as he's not been cleared to play despite being recently called up for the Supercoppa, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Lukaku was with the team in Saudi Arabia but watched both matches from the bench without warming up. He's not far from returning, but the team will be extra cautious. He has been sidelined for four and a half months and will sit out a few more fixtures, also considering that Rasmus Hojlund has been going like gangbusters as of late.

Unavailable against Cremonese Lukaku (thigh) isn't part of the squad for Sunday's bout with Cremonese, Gianluca Di Marzio relayed.

Impact Lukaku didn't suffer a setback but isn't ready to contribute and will stay put to work on his conditioning, which could sideline him for further fixtures, even though he was with the team for the Supercoppa last week. Rasmus Hojlund will keep receiving the lion's share of minutes at the no.9 position over Lorenzo Lucca.
