Lukaku has been diagnosed with a high degree of rectus femoris lesion and will consult a surgeon, Napoli announced.

Lukaku got hurt in the last friendly, and the injury turned out to be extremely severe. He's set to miss two to three months, but more will be known after further tests. He'd be out for longer if he had surgery, La Repubblica reported. Lorenzo Lucca will lead the frontline until Napoli find another striker.
