Piotr Zielinski will miss tomorrow’s highly anticipated showdown between Napoli and Roma due to a thigh injury sustained during training. The match is set to commence at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday at 17:00 UK time (16:00 GMT). This clash holds significant weight in the battle for European qualification, as Napoli currently sits in eighth place while Roma occupies fifth, with a nine-point gap between them.

Expected to feature prominently in midfield, Zielinski was absent from today’s training session, with tests revealing a left leg injury. Further detailed examinations are necessary to determine the extent of his absence, but initial reports suggest a minor injury that could sideline him for a week or two. However, a clearer prognosis is anticipated in the coming days.

Additionally, Zielinski’s absence comes at a pivotal time as his contract with Napoli expires on June 30, and he has already committed to joining Inter on a free transfer for the upcoming season. Thus, these could be his final appearances wearing the Napoli jersey.
