Morning Post: Lukaku may be absent for a long time; Naples is evaluating Zilker/Jackson

Hupu, August 18, the latest report from the Naples Morning Post, although Naples' focus today is on the physical examination of Spanish left-back Miguel Gutierrez, Lukaku's injury is obviously beyond the expectations of most people.

For Gutierrez, the injury will be healed in the next three weeks and is expected to be available after September international match day, which is why Napoli has not finalized without a complete examination of his ankle injury.

Then there is Lukaku's problem. Yesterday, the Belgian player underwent a routine physical examination at a clinic in Boulevard, Naples, and the results were announced today:

However, the doctor's evaluation results were still not conducive to his rapid recovery. Naples has been considering whether to find a new striker for Conte all weekend, but the final assessment will be until Lukaku's recovery is confirmed. People are worried that Conte's main striker will be out of the game for a long time.

Forward position, since Chiesa and Gallish are no longer the choice, while Sterling and Sancho are considering other goals, Napoli is wondering whether they can take advantage of the last chance to introduce new forwards from the Premier League.

Among them, Manchester United's Zilkerze and Chelsea's Jackson, perhaps Naples will consider potential options in the last two weeks of the transfer market.
