He serves as a major ball handler but rarely puts up numbers. He has tallied three shots (one on target), three chances created and seven clearances in his last five displays. His return will reduce Billy Gilmour's minutes, although the two started together in this one, as Frank Anguissa is working his way back from an injury, and Scott McTominay played in a more attacking role.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Torino tilt Lobotka will skip Friday's match versus Torino because of a quad injury, TuttoSport relayed.

His next opportunity will come next Saturday versus Lecce. Billy Gilmour is set to start next to Elijf Elmas as Scott McTominay (thigh) is out again, but Frank Anguissa and Kevin De Bruyne might be available after lengthy absences in the midfield.

Does little in cameo against Udinese Lobotka (lower leg) had one inaccurate cross and one tackle (zero won) and drew one foul in 29 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Udinese.

Impact Lobotka recuperated quickly from a muscular issue but didn't put up many stats in his first game back. He generally handles the ball a lot but doesn't have big outputs on either end. He has recorded four key passes, five tackles (two won), four interceptions and four clearances in his last six displays. He'll reclaim his large role over Eljif Elmas going forward.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers muscular injury Lobotka sustained a left tibialis posterior muscle injury while warming up during Wednesday's Coppa Italia match versus Cagliari, Napoli announced.

Impact Lobotka got the day off midweek but got hurt while on the sidelines and is expected to miss at least a couple of games, as the team aims to have him ready for the Supercoppa in mid-December, Sky Italy reported. Eljif Elmas and Antonio Vergara are the only other healthy bodies in the midfield since Frank Anguissa and Kevin De Bruyne are on the mend because of thigh injuries.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Subs in late against Como Lobotka (thigh) had seven passes in three minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Como.

Billy Gilmour will likely start again in his place. Lobotka has assisted twice and added four chances created, one accurate shot and six tackles (three won) in his last four displays.
