Sets up teammate in Juventus clash Zirkzee won seven duels and assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and four chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Juventus.

Impact Zirkzee was tough to contain for the opponents and collected a point by hitting Lewis Ferguson in stride on a quick combination at the edge of the box. He's poised for a regular role if Bologna don't sign other strikers to replace Marko Arnautovic. He has logged two shots (one on target), six chances, and two tackles in two appearances.

Finally scores again Zirkzee scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus Lecce.

Impact Zirkzee's goal marked his first since Oct. 16. Zirkzee logged two goals during the 2022-23 Serie A, a league season in which he primarily served as a substitute option. Still, Zirkzee just turned 22 and is young enough to be given leeway in terms of his current output. And even with the limited role, Zirkzee still logged career bests in league appearances (19) and games started (five).

Fires three shots in Verona game Zirkzee won four duels, drew one foul, and generated four shots (one on goal), and three chances created in Friday's 1-2 defeat against Verona.

Impact Zirkzee got the nod over Nicola Sansone and had a decent game, leading his team in chances, but he couldn't fully exploit his opportunities. He has tallied one assist, seven shots (two on target), four chances created, and one cross in his last five appearances (one start).

Assists as substitute Zirkzee had an assist with his lone chance created while taking two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Atalanta.

Impact Zirkzee entered the match in the 56th minute and set up Riccardo Orsolini in the 86th for Bologna's second goal. The assist was the second in 12 appearances for the forward to go along with one goal.

Comes off bench in Torino game Zirkzee (knee) had one shot and seven passes in 33 minutes in Monday's 0-1 loss to Torino.

Impact Zirkzee was available after a three-week absence and was the first striker off the bench even though Marko Arnautovic was an option too. He'll be in contention to start int he next game. He has notched nine shots (two on target) and four chances created in his last four appearances.

Fit for Torino match Zirkzee (thigh) "will be part of the group for Monday's clash with Torino," coach Thiago Motta relayed.

Impact Zirkzee is good to go after skipping three games with a thigh strain. He'll compete for minutes with the returning Marko Arnautovic and Musa Barrow. He has recorded one assist, eight shots (two on target), and five chances created in his four appearances (two starts).

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers thigh injury Zirkzee will miss two-to-three weeks due to a low-grade strain of the adductor muscle in his right thigh, Bologna announced.

Impact Zirkzee has been filling in for Marko Arnautovic (foot) in recent games. The starter might be back for the Monza game, and Musa Barrow could lead the frontline if they prefer using him off the bench.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fires five shots against Spezia Zirkzee drew one foul, won seven duels, and registered five shots (one on target) and two chances created in Friday's 2-0 win against Spezia.

Impact Zirkzee fared pretty well while filling in for Marko Arnautovic but lacked precision on his attempts. He should continue starting for as long as his teammate is sidelined. He has scored and assisted once in eight appearances (three starts), posting 14 shots (three on target), and seven chances created.

JANUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays one half versus Cremonese Zirkzee (knee) took one off-target shot and created one scoring chance in Monday's 1-1 draw with Cremonese.

Impact Zirkzee didn't get the start but saw robust minutes in his return from a knee injury. He looked good, even though he didn't pick up many stats. He could start over Musa Barrow in Friday's home game against Lecce if Marko Arnautovic (foot) doesn't return.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for Cremonese game Zirkzee (knee) has been named in Bologna's squad list to face Cremonese Monday.

Impact Zirkzee is fit after batting a patellar tendon injury for about five weeks. He's likely to be a bench option in his first game but, he should see some minutes with Marko Arnautovic (foot) and Nicola Sansone on the mend. He has scored and assisted once in six appearances (two starts), adding eight shots (two on target), and four chances created.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable versus Roma Zirkzee (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Roma, coach Thiago Motta announced.

Impact Zirkzee has been nursing a patellar tendon injury for nearly a month and has yet to resume training fully, so it could be a while before he's ready to play. They would have to turn to unusual solutions if something happened to Marko Arnautovic, as they don't have other backup strikers.

JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers knee injury Zirkzee will follow a specific training plan for three weeks due to a sore patellar tendon in his left knee, Bologna announced.

Impact Zirkzee is technically on pace to be available for the early January matches if he respects the timetable, but he might have issues from the conditioning standpoint if he doesn't manage to feature in any of the friendlies that precede the restart of the league.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Finds the target in Napoli clash Zirkzee won seven duels and scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-3 defeat versus Napoli.

Impact Zirkzee took full advantage of the absence of Marko Arnautovic and hit the net with a precise strike from the middle of the box late in the first half. It's the first time he gets meaningful playing time since joining in January. His role in Sunday's home game versus Lecce likely hinges on whether his star teammate recovers, but the two could feature together in a more offensive look.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to training Zirkzee (illness) was back in team training with Bayern ahead of Sunday's clash against VfL Bochum, Kicker reported Wednesday.

Impact Zirkzee missed last weekend's victory against Wolfsburg due to an illness, but he should be available for selection versus Bochum. Even when healthy, he's far down the forward depth chart and is unlikely to see significant game time on Sunday, even off the bench.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Wolfsburg Zirkzee (illness) isn't available for Sunday's match against Wolfsburg.

Impact Zirkzee missed training late in the week and isn't available for this game. He's nearing the point in his career where he needs to play regularly as he develops, so this isn't helpful timing.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses training with illness Zirkzee was not in training with Bayern Munich on Thursday as he's dealing with an illness, according to Philipp Kessler of Munchner Merkur.

Impact Zirkzee tallied 18 goals and 13 assists across 47 appearances in all competitions while on-loan with Anderlecht last season, but the 21-year-old still doesn't figure to get much playing time at Bayern just yet. He will be questionable for Sunday's clash against Wolfsburg in the immediate future due to illness, but it's also not out of the question that he gets either a permanent move or another loan before the transfer window closes for this upcoming campaign.
