14 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Piotr Zielinski - Creates three chances against Napoli Zielinski won three of four tackles and had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Zielinski drew his fourth start in the last five matches, did a little bit of everything, set a new season high in tackels, and was instrumental on the opening goal, pickpocketing Scott McTominay in the midfield and slipping the ball to Marcus Thuram. He has gained the upper hand over Henrikh Mkhitaryan as of late, but both midfielders are getting consistent minutes due to the busy schedule. Zielinski has scored once and posted four shots (one on target), four key passes and five clearances in the last five games.

Nicolo Barella - Active display in Napoli match Barella won one of three tackles and generated three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Napoli.

Impact Barella didn't participate in the two goals but still produced a fine offensive performance, pacing his side in key passes. He has created one or more in six straight fixtures, amassing 17 and logging one assist, eight off-target shots and 16 crosses (six accurate) over that span.

Davide Frattesi - DNP in Napoli fixture Frattesi (thigh) wasn't deployed in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Napoli.

Impact Frattesi watched the match from the bench, as it had often happened lately. He'll have better chances of getting some minutes if the coach rotates more in the next couple of games. He has started in just nine Serie A tilts (one start), tallying seven shots (three on target), four key passes and six tackles (three won).

Andy Diouf - Unused versus Napoli Diouf (undisclosed) wasn't fielded during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Inter.

Impact Diouf was good to go after sitting out two tilts because of a minor injury, but the coach leaned on his regulars in a crunch match. He'll try to take advantage of the thick schedule to notch more minutes than usual in the next few matches.

Lautaro Martinez - Engulfed by Napoli defenders Martinez won one of one tackle and had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Napoli.

Impact Martinez barely kept his lengthy streak of games with at least one shot alive and didn't create a chance after eight matches, as he struggled to get open and was often outmuscled by the opponents in this one. He'd scored in three consecutive matches, adding two assists, before a two-game lull.

Marcus Thuram - Logs assist against Napoli Thuram assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Thuram didn't put up huge numbers, but made the stat sheet for the third match in a row by hitting Federico Dimarco in stride to set up the first goal of the game. He has taken one or more shots in 10 fixtures in a row, racking up 18 (nine on target), scoring three goals.

Federico Dimarco - Strikes in Napoli meeting Dimarco scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Napoli.

Impact Dimarco opened the scoring with a great lefty daisy-cutter from a difficult position that kissed the opposite post before going in, improving to four goals in the season. He has posted five or more crosses in seven consecutive displays, racking up 51 (eight accurate) and tallying six shots (three on target), one assist and 21 corners over that span. Instead, he didn't create a chance after registering 10 in the previous three games.

Yann Sommer - Gives up two goals verus Napoli Sommer recorded one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Napoli.

Impact Sommer conceded on two close-range shots by Scott McTominay, where he wasn't super reactive. He has kept two clean sheets in the last six matches, making eight saves and surrendering five goals. Up next, Inter will face Lecce at home Wednesday.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Buries PK and subs off versus Napoli Calhanoglu scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target) and one key pass and left at the 87th minute due to a muscular issue, coach Christian Chivu relayed.

Impact Calhanoglu didn't have a huge output but made no mistake from the spot for his seventh goal in the season. However, he asked to come out near the end of the game after an awkward movement. The gaffer added that the injury seemed minor, but that only the tests would clarify the situation. He'll be a heavy doubt for at least Wednesday's match versus Lecce. Henrikh Mkhitaryan or Petar Sucic would be the next men up if needed.

Andy Diouf - Fit Sunday Diouf (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Napoli.

Impact Diouf is with the team as expected Sunday, with the attacker an option from the bench after his undisclosed injury. He still has yet to earn a start since the opening match of the season, mainly a depth piece for the club.

Davide Frattesi - Option from bench Frattesi (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Napoli.

Impact Frattesi was an option for the team sheet Sunday, and after some testing, the midfielder is on the bench. He hasn't started since Nov. 5 and is more of a rotational option for the club, going unused six times since his last start.

Josep Martínez - Suffers ankle injury Martinez tweaked his ankle while warming up against Parma and will miss Sunday's clash with Napoli, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Martinez didn't train after sustaining the injury and could miss futher fixtures considering a few short turnarounds in a row. Third-stringer Raffaele Di Gennaro (wrist) is also missing. Youngsters Alessandro Calligaris and Alain Taho will back up Yann Sommer.

Davide Frattesi - Likely to return against Napoli Frattesi (thigh) has trained fully Saturday and should be back with the team Sunday, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Frattesi has overcome a muscular ailment and will most likely be on the bench after a one-game absence. He has been fielded in just two of the last seven matches he was available for, though, posting one tackle (zero won) and one interception.

Matteo Darmian - Still out Sunday Darmian (calf) "has been training with us lately but has been sidelined for a long time, so it will take a while to have him back," coach Christian Chivu stated.

Impact Darmian has been medically cleared but now needs to improve his conditioning after multiple months on the shelf, so he could skip another game or two. Carlos Augusto and Andy Diouf will back up Luis Henrique in the meantime.

Andy Diouf - Returning against Napoli Diouf (undisclosed) has shaken off his ailment, Mediaset reported.

Impact Diouf is on track to be available after skipping two contests because of muscle fatigue and will resume providing depth in the midfield. He has seen limited minutes in his last five appearances (zero starts), posting one shot on target, two key passes and two crosses (zero accurate).

Lautaro Martinez - Scoring streak ends in Parma Martinez registered five shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Parma.

Impact Martinez failed to get involved in the score sheet despite logging 85 minutes of play, as he missed several chances in a favorable matchup. It was his first league game without a goal or assist since Nov. 23, marking a disappointing outcome for top scorer in the competition, who had notched six goals and two assists over his previous five Serie A starts. He's averaging 3.7 shots (1.4 on target) and 1.3 chances created per game in league play.

Marcus Thuram - Scores off bench Wednesday Thuram scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Parma. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 97th minute.

Impact Thuram doubled the visitors' lead through a left-footed shot after being left alone against the goalkeeper by a great pass from Nicolo Barella in stoppage time against Parma. Despite appearing only in the final few minutes of the game, the forward scored for the second straight match, raising his season total to eight goals in 18 contests. He's second only to Lautaro Martinez in that aspect among Inter players.

Hakan Calhanoglu - Takes five shots in victory Calhanoglu generated five shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Parma. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 34th mi...

Impact Calhanoglu failed to find the target despite his constant attempts from outside the box in Wednesday's clash. The midfielder was more efficient in his ball deliveries, recording 93- and 33-percent pass and cross accuracy, respectively. However, he was unable to start a productive run in terms of direct contributions after assisting in his previous outing. Thus, he remains with seven goals and four assists across all competitions. He should retain playmaking value as he splits set-piece duties with Federico Dimarco in most matches.

Nicolo Barella - Assists off bench in win Barella assisted once to go with one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Parma.

Impact Barella featured in an unusual substitute role as he replaced Petar Sucic in the second half, leading to a low production of passes, but he made up for it with a long ball that set up Marcus Thuram's stoppage-time goal. The assist was the fifth of the season between league and European action for Barella, and it added to his six direct contributions over 23 appearances. He'll likely regain a starting role in central midfield for upcoming games.
