NICOLO ZANIOLO NEWS

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

Impact Zaniolo will be further assessed prior to the match as the issue isn't severe but is rather painful, the coach informed. If he couldn't go or was initially spared, Andrea Belotti would likely join Tammy Abraham up front.

Scores and subs off versus Verona Zaniolo took one shot on target, drew three fouls, had one interception, and scored a goal in 57 minutes in Monday's 3-1 win over Verona before bowing out due to a thigh contusion,...

Impact Zanioli tucked it in the empty net after Tammy Abraham hit the post to score his first goal in domestic play in ages. However, he got hit on the muscle and couldn't gut it out. He's currently suspended for the midweek Europa League clash against Ludogorets, although the team has appealed. He will be monitored ahead of Sunday's derby with Lazio.

Delivers three crosses against Napoli Zaniolo won three of four tackles and eight duels and had one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 0-1 loss against Napoli.

Impact Zaniolo returned to the XI and turned in a fairly energetic shift and was the sprier attacker for his side, but that didn't lead to a major offensive output. He has yet to score in the season, while he has picked up one assist in Europa League. He has notched nine shots (two on target), two chances created, and four crosses (one accurate) in the last five games. Roma will face Verona away next Monday.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended for two more Europa games Zaniolo has been handed a three-match ban in Europa League for hitting an opponent with the ball away from the play.

Impact Zaniolo served the first game of his punishment last week, and he will have to sit out also the matches versus Ludogorets and HJK Helsinki, barring a successful appeal. Andrea Belotti, Stephan El Shaarawy, and Eldor Shomurodov should get some run in Europa League.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Used as sub versus Sampdoria Zaniolo won two duels, drew two fouls, and had two shots (one on goal) in 21 minutes in Monday's 1-0 victory over Sampdoria.

Impact Zaniolo didn't put up great stats but did provide a spark off the bench with his cuts and dynamism. He'll be in contention with Andrea Belotti and Tammy Abraham in the upcoming fixtures. He has logged ten shots (two on target), two chances created, and three crosses (one accurate) in the last five appearances. Roma will host Napoli Sunday.

Sent off against Betis Zaniolo was shown a straight red card during Thursday's clash with Betis.

Impact Zaniolo was sent off deep in stoppage time for an inexplicable foul, lashing out at a Betis player violently. It's possible the suspension is more than just a single game, but at the very least Zaniolo will miss the reverse fixture against Betis on Thursday. His suspension in Europe will likely guarantee Zaniolo a full 90 in domestic competition against Lecce on sunday.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet versus Inter Zaniolo drew two fouls, won two duels, and had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Inter Milan.

Impact Zaniolo played almost the entire game, which hadn't happened in a while, but he didn't get much going. He has provided an assist and added 19 shots (four on target), six chances created, and two inaccurate crosses in five games. Roma will host Lecce next Sunday.

Diagnosed with dislocated shoulder Zaniolo has suffered a dislocated left shoulder in Monday's match versus Cremonese and will be out for three-to-four weeks, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Zaniolo won't require surgery and reassured fans on his social media pages that the problem wasn't too severe. He will sit out four or five matches. He was replaced by Stephan El Shaarawy in this one. Nemanja Matic could also get some run, with Lorenzo Pellegrini moving to a more offensive role.

Off injured Monday Zaniolo was forced off in the first half of Monday's match with Cremonese due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Zaniolo was forced off in the final moments of the first half after succumbing to a shoulder or collarbone injury after a challenge in the closing moments. It's been an injury-plagued career for the attacker, but he will hope to avoid serious injury with more information being available following the match.

Draws six fouls against Salernitana Zaniolo took four shots (one on target), created two scoring chances, drew six fouls and won eight duels in Sunday's 1-0 win over Salernitana.

Impact Zaniolo had a lively showing and co-led his team in shots, but he could have had a bigger day since he missed a pair of sitters. The coach fielded all the attackers in this one, but that may not be the case often. He posted two goals, two assists, 70 shots (20 on target) and 28 chances in 28 appearances last season. Roma will host Cremonese next Monday.
