Out versus Bologna

Lukaku (hip) won't be selected for Monday's fixture versus Bologna and might not be available for any of the last three rounds, Mediaset reported.

Analysis: Lukaku has worked separately from the rest of the group since returning to Italy and is unlikely to play in the last two tilts, although the decision isn't set in stone at this stage.

Back in Italy

Lukaku (hip) has returned to Naples and trained individually, the club announced.

Analysis: Lukaku reported back to his team after two separate rehab stints abroad, the first of which hadn't been concurred. He could potentially be available for one of the final three matches if the coach deems him fit enough to contribute. He hasn't appeared in over two months at this point and never got into a rhythm after an early serious thigh injury.

Will keep rehabbing abroad

Lukaku (hip) returned to Naples and agreed to pay a fine for his impromptu hiatus, but will head back to Belgium to recover from his injury, Sky Italy reported.

Analysis: Lukaku cleared the air with his club after deciding to stay away on his own following the last international break, but he'll quickly fly back to his home country to recuperate and work on his conditioning. He doesn't have a clear timetable at this stage. Rasmus Hojlund and Giovane will be the options in the role for a while longer.
