Napoli football club has confirmed that midfielder Piotr Zielinski will miss the derby against Salernitana due to a muscle fatigue. This complication deepens the already existing midfield crisis for the team.
The statement about the Polish player’s condition, which came from the club’s official Instagram account, did not specify the length of time Zielinski would be absent from the field. It simply noted his inability to participate in the forthcoming derby.
This news was initially reported by Italian sports journalist Alfredo Pedullà on his website. He noted that Zielinski’s absence “amplifies the already-existing emergency in midfield”.
