Not just the cold from the past few days: Zielinski also has to deal with a foot problem that kept him out of the Poland match against Romania as a precaution. According to Tuttosport, head coach Urban chose not to risk him, taking into account the physical difficulties the player accumulated over the week.

The Nerazzurri midfielder had already missed some training sessions before the foot problem emerged, with the cold further complicating his preparation. For now, an early return to Milan is not planned: the goal is to be fit for Tuesday’s match against Sweden, Poland’s last Nations League fixture in Wrocław.

However, his stay in training camp does not guarantee recovery. The next training sessions will determine whether he can take the field without risk, with the Polish national team’s medical staff continuing to monitor him. The situation is also being closely followed by Chivu, who is busy planning the return to competition and the away match against Atalanta.

On the Nerazzurri front, today will remain a rest day at Appiano Gentile: in yesterday’s session, only the players dealing with injuries trained, while the full group will return to work on Tuesday. From that moment, the Inter coach will gradually start to get the internationals back, with Zielinski’s condition being one of the main issues to resolve ahead of the upcoming matches.
