Disappointing versus Milan Zielinski (thigh) recorded one cross (zero accurate), one clearance and one tackle in Sunday's 1-0 loss to AC Milan.

Impact Zielinski made the starting lineup instead of Matteo Politano as the coach went with a very defensive-minded formation, but he didn't do much. His game-time is no longer so secure due to some tactical flip-flopping and the fact that he has been excluded from the Champions League list. He has tallied six chances created, 15 crosses (three accurate) and three shots (one on target) in his last five appearances.

Called up for Milan match Zielinski (thigh) has been named in Napoli's squad list for Sunday's away game versus Milan.

Impact Zielinski is fit enough to be an option after missing two of the past three fixtures due to muscular ailments in the same area.

He hasn't been inserted in their Champions League list for such a reason, but he hasn't been completely frozen out and will remain available for the domestic matches whenever healthy. Jens Cajuste might surpass him in the pecking order, though.
