Impact No news of an injury had been revealed in the buildup to the match, but Zaniolo ultimately misses out on Sunday's squad. The attacker had started three straight matches before not playing in Villa's last match while his reason for absence could be revealed following the match.

Available for selection Zaniolo is training with the first team and is available against West Ham despite an ongoing investigation in Italy, Aston Villa announced.

Impact Zaniolo is under investigation for a betting incident in Italy but is available while the investigation continues. The midfielder started three of four matches before the international break on the left wing. If Villa go back to the same 442 formation they used against Wolves Zaniolo would likely fall to the bench. The positive sign is that Zaniolo seems to have positioned himself as the starter ahead of Leon Bailey.

Impact Zaniolo wasn't available against Hibs due to being cup-tied in European competition but is now available for his Aston Villa debut. It's unclear if that will come in the starting XI or off the bench, though he could see more consistent playing time due to the knee injury Emiliano Buendia suffered.

Loaned to Aston Villa Zaniolo completed a loan move to Aston Villa from Galatasaray for the remainder of 2023-24, Aston Villa announced.

Impact Zaniolo gets his switch to the Premier League, though it is on loan. The midfielder could see a substantial role with Aston Villa, especially with the long-term knee injury Emil Buendia suffered.

Impact Zaniolo turned down a late move to Bournemouth after asking out and then left town after being threatened by some fans. He produced a medical certificate with a 30-day prognosis for psychophysical stress. He'll rest during such period, although the club will monitor him. In any case, he won't be involved in the next several matches, and perhaps for the rest of the season, barring a reconciliation that's not on the horizon at the moment. Nemanja Matic, Edoardo Bove, Benjamin Tahirovic, and Ola Solbakken will get more minutes with Zaniolo unavailable, and Lorenzo Pellegrini will play in a more offensive role.

Won't be involved against Napoli Zaniolo "won't be an option against Napoli as he's not focused on games right now," Jose Mourinho announced.

Impact Zaniolo asked out about a month ago, but he's not any closer to leaving compared to last week, the gaffer added, saying that anticipates him staying. His position will be re-evaluated after deadline day. Lorenzo Pellegrini will likely return to the XI after being spared in the past game, with Stephan El Shaarawy, Ola Solbakken, and Andrea Belotti serving as the top offensive backups.

Held out for Spezia game Zaniolo won't be called up for Sunday's match versus Spezia as he's in talks to leave the club, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Zaniolo has been made available on the market, and the club has decided to exclude him altogether to avoid injuries. That may be the case also for the ensuing Napoli clash if he doesn't leave beforehand, but negotiations with other clubs don't appear to be too advanced. Edoardo Bove entered the XI in the last match, which he missed due to an illness.

Out with illness Zaniolo (illness) is not in Roma's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Fiorentina.

Impact Zaniolo is not available against Fiorentina due to an illness. He will hope to recover by next weekend's Spezia match, while Tammy Abraham, Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini start as the attacking three on Sunday.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Fiorentina game Zaniolo is likely to miss Sunday's clash with Fiorentina because of an illness, Corriere dello Sport informs.

Impact Zaniolo is battling the flu and is at serious risk of being excluded from the game-day squad list altogether. Lorenzo Pellegrini (thigh) seems fit and should play as no.10, with Edoardo Bove, Nemanja Matic, or Benjamin Tahirovic playing in the midfield. Ola Solbakken and Andrea Belotti would also have better chances of getting minutes should Zaniolo be sidelined as expected.

Struggles versus Milan Zaniolo (knee) took two off-target shots, drew one foul, and had one interception in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Milan.

Impact Zaniolo got the nod and played for more than an hour, but he put up lackluster numbers in this one. He hasn't collected points in the last five matches despite the consecutive starts, posting 12 shots (three on target), four chances created, and 14 crosses (two accurate).

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available versus Milan Zaniolo (knee) has been called up for Sunday's clash with Milan, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Zaniolo practiced on the side for one day after a blow to the knee, but he has shaken it off and will be an option for this one. He'll be in contention to start with Tammy Abraham, as is generally the case. He has scored just once in 12 Serie A appearances, adding 26 shots (seven on target), eight chances created, and 20 crosses (three accurate).

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against Bologna Zaniolo was subbed out of Wednesday's victory against Bologna in the 60th minute after suffering an injury. He took four shots (two on target) in the match before being taken off.

Impact Zaniolo has a history of injuries and he's had to miss a few weeks earlier this season with a dislocated shoulder he suffered in August, so he will hope that whatever he picked up in Wednesday won't be too serious. Tammy Abraham replaced him up front for the final half hour against Bologna.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Five crosses for draw Zaniolo took one shot (zero on target), delivered one corner and sent in five crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Sassuolo.

Impact Zaniolo posted a team high in crosses for the match but was only able to connect on one of those attempts. He was replaced during the 78th for rest purposes by Andrea Belotti.

Makes three tackles in loss Zaniolo registered two off-target shots, one inaccurate cross and three tackles (two won) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Lazio.

Impact Zaniolo had a decent outing, but it wasn't enough to avoid the home loss. The midfielder co-led his side in shots and made the second-most tackles during the match against their rivals. He has been in and out the squad in the season after dealing with some injuries, but is a started when healthy and scored two goals so far.

Shines in Ludogorets match Zaniolo (thigh) scored one goal, took four shots (three on target), and drew two penalty kicks in 45 minutes in Thursday's 3-1 win over Ludogorets.

Impact Zaniolo saw limited action due to a recent contusion, but that didn't prevent him from single-handedly turning the tide, as Roma were down one nil when he came in. He has bagged two goals in a row after a lengthy drought, and he's highly likely to start in Sunday's derby with Lazio.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Should be available versus Ludogorets Zaniolo (thigh) was able to practice Wednesday, and there's growing optimism he will be called up for Thursday's game versus Ludogorets, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Zaniolo is nursing a contusion, but he has improved quickly, and he should be able to be a bench option for the final game of the Europa League group stage. Stephan El Shaarawy was announced as a starter by Jose Mourinho, possibly in his role.
