Midfielder Piotr Zielinski will miss Inter Milan’s Serie A clash with Roma after picking up a thigh injury.
Medical tests confirm that the 30-year-old suffered a strain in his right thigh during the international break, Inter confirm.
Inter midfielder Zielinski suffered an injury problem during the international break.
The 30-year-old started both of Poland’s matches during the break. They faced Portugal and Croatia in Nations League clashes.
Zielinski opened the scoring for Poland in a 3-3 draw against Croatia.
However, that match also saw the Inter midfielder have to come off the pitch during the second half.
The reason for the substitution appeared to be partly injury-related.
Zielinski appeared to feel some discomfort in his hamstring as he limped off the pitch.
Naturally, this presents a bit of a worry for Inter. The international break can often be a frustrated time as players return to their club duties carrying knocks after playing in the international fixtures.
And Zielinski looks to be one of the main fitness concerns among Inter’s squad this time around.
Piotr Zielinski Out For Inter Serie A Serie A Clashes Vs Roma & Juventus
Naturally, Inter had hoped that there was no serious injury for Zielinski.
The Nerazzurri had been waiting for the results of medical tests today in the hopes that the former Napoli and Empoli midfielder was only feeling a bit of muscular fatigue.
But there is bad news on that front.
Inter confirm that after medical tests with the club medical staff, Zielinski has been diagnosed with a strain in his right thigh.
That means that the Pole will certainly miss this weekend’s Serie A match against Roma.
And the matches are now coming thick and fast for Inter. They face Young Boys in the Champions League and then Juventus in the league.
There would be little hope of Zielinski rushing back in time for either of those matches considering the nature of his injury.
