'The club reserves the right to evaluate the adoption of appropriate disciplinary measures as well as the continuation of the player's participation in the team on an indefinite basis.'

As per several media outlets in Italy, Lukaku - who has been training individually in Belgium without Napoli's permission since leaving the international team - has been warned he could be left out of the first-team squad if he does not return by Tuesday.

The statement suggests Napoli's response could be even stronger with club lawyers currently examining the case.
