Comes off the bench against Torino Zaniolo (foot) registered two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in 20 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Torino.

Impact Zaniolo made his seasonal debut after dealing with a nagging foot injury and looked decent in limited action. He'll try to earn more minutes at the expense of Charles De Ketelaere, Lazar Samardzic and Marco Brescianini in the next few games.

Called up for Torino clash Zaniolo (foot) made Atalanta's squad list to face Torino on Sunday.

Impact Zaniolo has shaken off a foot tendinopathy that bothered him for a while enough to be called up and perhaps see limited minutes if things go right. Charles De Ketelaere and Mateo Retegui are likely to start, but Atalanta don't have depth behind them due to Ademola Lookman's transfer market-related absence.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent for Lecce fixture Zaniolo (foot) hasn't been called up for Monday's game versus Lecce.

Impact Zaniolo is reportedly improving but isn't quite ready to play yet. Mateo Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere are the only available attackers as Ademola Lookman, El Bilal Toure and Teun Koopmeiners are all out for transfer market-related reasons.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable versus Real Madrid Zaniolo (foot) hasn't been selected for Wednesday's Super Cup against Real Madrid, Atalanta informed.

Impact Zaniolo has been nursing a nagging injury, which is serious enough to sideline him for the first official game on the season. The coach will lean on Charles De Ketelaere, Ademola Lookman, Mateo Retegui and Mario Pasalic up front.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up minor injury Zaniolo skipped Friday's friendly against St. Pauli due to foot tendonitis, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Zaniolo is having trouble with the same foot he got operated on in recent months, which sidelined him for most of the summer. He'll open the season behind the eight ball from the physical standpoint even if he's available for the Super Cup against Real Madrid and the opener versus Lecce.

AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Appears in preseason game Zaniolo (foot) made his Atalanta debut against Parma on Sunday.

Impact Zaniolo was unable to star in previous friendlies due to a foot injury but has been able to recover fully two weeks before the opener. Gianluca Scamacca's injury opens up significant playing time, but he's unlikely to be a regular starter at first.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Serie A Zaniolo (foot) has joined Atalanta on a season-long loan with a conditioned obligation to buy from Galatasaray, the team announced.

Impact Zaniolo wasn't retained by Aston Villa after a so-so season, and Atalanta snapped him up relatively quickly with the same formula. He's expected to make a full recovery during the summer. He tallied two goals, 27 shots (10 on target) and 10 chances created in 25 games (nine starts) in the Premier League last year. He'll rotate with Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman at his new club.

JULY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out long term Zaniolo "will most likely miss the Euro" due to a microfracture in his left foot, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti informed.

Impact Zaniolo surely won't be available for the season finale against Crystal Palace on Sunday and has slim chances of being available for the summer tournament. He closes an underwhelming loan spell with two goals, 28 shots (10 on target), 11 key passes and 19 crosses (one accurate) in 28 appearances, failing to become a regular starter. He'll probably head back to Galatasaray since Aston Villa are unlikely to pick up their option to buy.

MAY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off after 15 minutes Zaniolo was forced off with a foot injury after just 15 minutes off the bench during Monday's clash with Liverpool.

Impact Zaniolo made his return to the bench after missing three matches and lasted just 15 minutes. Jhon Duran came on to replace Zaniolo and scored just minutes after coming off the bench. Zaniolo is an extreme doubt for Sunday's finale against Crystal Palace.

MAY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns bench role Zaniolo (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Zaniolo is finally fit again after three matches on the sidelines, as he has fully recovered from his undisclosed issues to earn a spot on the bench. He will likely remain on the bench moving into their final game of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

MAY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not yet ready for play Zaniolo (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Olympiacos.

Impact Zaniolo remains sidelined for yet another match, as despite his return in the reverse fixture a week ago, he is being left out for a second straight game due to "small pain." This is most likely a cautionary move before their tough matchup against Liverpool on Monday. That being said, he will look for a return in four days, hoping to be fit to face the Reds and end the season healthy and with the team.

Left out with "small pain" Zaniolo was left out of the team to face Brighton on Sunday due to a "small pain," according to manager Unai Emery, per John Townley of Birmingham Live. "He has a small pain. On Th...

Impact Zaniolo made a return in the Europa League Thursday after coming off the bench for five minutes to face Olympiacos after dealing with an undisclosed issue but was forced to bow out a couple of days later after feeling some pain, likely from the same injury he was dealing with before. He will now hope to make a quick recovery and return to face Liverpool on May 13, as he is currently in question for that contest.

MAY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Appears off bench Zaniolo came off the bench during Thursday's 4-2 loss to Olympiacos.

Impact Zaniolo missed two matches in a row in the Premier League, but made his return off the bench Thursday. The attacking midfielder only played for five minutes, so he didn't get to really test his fitness much. Still getting back on the pitch is a great sign for Zaniolo, who was making consistent appearances before the injury.

MAY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could see return Thursday Zaniolo (undisclosed) is an option for Thursday's match against Olympiacos, according to manager Unai Emery. "Nicolo Zaniolo could be in the squad tomorrow, he is feeling better."

Impact Zaniolo appears to have somewhat recovered from his undisclosed issues after two matches out, as he is now in the selection pool for Thursday's Conference League semifinal. This could be a huge addition for the club, as they are seriously low on available midfielders, possibly gaining one back if Zaniolo can take the field. If he is fit and an option, he will most likely serve off the bench, only starting in nine of his 24 appearances this season.

MAY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Zaniolo (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Bournemouth on Sunday.

Impact Zaniolo misses out on Sunday's match following his early exit in mid week against Lille in the UEFA Conference League. The attacker will hope to recover in time for next week's match against Chelsea.

APRIL 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off Zaniolo was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Thursday's clash with Lille.

Impact Zaniolo made it just 26 minutes into Thursday's clash before being forced off. The attacking midfielder will have an extremely short turnaround before a Sunday clash with Bournemouth. Zaniolo will more likely target a return for an April 27 clash with Chelsea if the injury isn't serious.

APRIL 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores equalizer off bench Zaniolo scored a goal off his lone shot and was shown a yellow card after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Ham.

Impact Zaniolo was brought as part of a double substitution just past the hour mark and didn't make an immediate impact but everything changed in the 79th minute, when the attacker appeared at the right place to slot home a pass from the right flank and draw things level at 1-1. This was just the second goal over 20 league appearances for Zaniolo, who's been mostly struggling during his first EPL campaign.

Returns off bench Zaniolo came off the bench for the final two minutes of Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup.

Impact Zaniolo missed Saturday's 5-0 win over Sheffield United due to a muscular injury, but got back in the squad immediately against Chelsea. Zaniolo has been almost entirely a bench option of late with his last start in the Premier League coming during a Dec. 3 clash with Bournemouth. Since then Zaniolo has appeared off the bench in five of the eight matches he's been available for.

Impact Zaniolo suffered the injury in training and was immediately ruled out for the weekends clash. The attacking midfielder has been a bench option in recent weeks, with his last start coming during a Dec. 3 draw with Bournemouth. Still the February schedule is busy and Zaniolo is a definite loss as a depth option. Zaniolo's first chance to return will be a Feb. 11 clash with Manchester United, giving him more than a week to recover.

FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores equalizer off bench Zaniolo scored a goal off his lone shot and was shown a yellow card after coming off the bench during Friday's 1-1 draw against Sheffield United.

Impact Zaniolo was once again a late-game substitute and this time he ended up being the hero for Villa as he stepped into the box to head the ball home for a dramatic equalizer deep into stoppage time. This was the first EPL for the midfielder, who will hope to get more playing time during upcoming matches.
