After consultation with surgeons, it was decided that Lukaku's best recovery option was “conservative therapy”, so that he will see “three to four months” out of operation.
Both Lukaku and Napoli Management agree on the decision.
The Belgium-Centrum-Forward suffered the injury against Olympiakos last week.
Napoli Management has also decided to register Lukaku for the Champions League group phase during the first half of the season.
