NICOLA ZALEWSKI NEWS

Subs in well against Napoli Zalewski created one scoring chance and registered one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and two corners in 28 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Napoli.

Impact Zalewki provided a spark off the bench, leading his side in deliveries, but it was too little too late. He hasn't recaptured a regular role following a thigh injury and has been outplayed by Davide Zappacosta lately. He'll look to change the hierarchy following a coaching change. He has posted four shots (zero on target), two chances created, 22 crosses (three accurate) and 11 corners in his last five displays (one start).

Sluggish in Udinese fixture Zalewski drew three fouls and had three tackles (one won), one clearance and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Udinese.

Impact Zalewski put up some stats in the back in his return to the starting lineup after getting a breather midweek but failed to guard Nicolo Zaniolo properly on the game-winning goal and was a non-factor on offense, failing to launch a cross for the first time this year. He has tallied two shots (one on target), one key pass, 14 deliveries (two acrosses) and eight corners in his last four displays. Instead, he maintained his season-long streak of performances with at least one tackle and has put up 10 in the season (six won). He generally alternates with Lorenzo Bernasconi and Davide Zappacosta on the left flank.
