Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski was forced to leave the field during Poland’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League due to a physical issue. The incident occurred in the 74th minute of the match, raising concerns for both the national team and his club.
Sky Sport Italia report how the game started brightly for Zielinski, who opened the scoring for Poland in the 5th minute with a well-placed shot. However, his night was cut short when he signaled to the bench, requesting a substitution. Bartosz Kapustka came on to replace him as Poland fought back from a 3-1 deficit to secure a draw.
Initial reports suggest that Zielinski felt discomfort in his right thigh, prompting the precautionary substitution. The extent of the injury is yet to be determined, and further medical evaluations will be necessary to assess his condition.
This development is particularly worrying for Inter Milan and their manager Simone Inzaghi. The Italian champions are facing a packed schedule in the coming weeks, and Zielinski’s potential absence could be a significant blow to their midfield options.
The midfielder has been a key player for the Nerazzurri since his summer move from Napoli, and his availability will be crucial as the team navigates through a challenging period in both domestic and European competitions.
