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.

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.
