Inter striker Romelu Lukaku is not taking today off from training as he aims to use every available opportunity to reach top physical condition for the Nerazzurri’s Serie A clash with Napoli on January 4.
This according to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, who reported this evening that the Belgian decided to complete a training session on Christmas day.
Inter’s squad have been given today off from training by coach Simone Inzaghi, as the coach has allowed the players to spend today as well as the last two days with their families rather than in training.
However, for Lukaku’s part the 29-year-old does not want to let up the momentum in training.
After playing for 86 minutes against Reggina in a friendly over the week, the striker feels that he is closer than ever to finally recovering to full fitness, and so he decided to train today so that he can get as close to his goal of peak condition against Napoli as possible.
