Barely 22 minutes – that’s how long he spent on the pitch during Monday’s match with Empoli. The 27-year-old complained of breathing problems that prevented him from playing. The Pole underwent the necessary tests at the hospital, but they did not reveal any abnormalities.
Concerns about Piotr Zieliński’s health
The first more detailed information about Zieliński’s health was provided by Mateusz Borek in “Mocy Futbolu”. – He had a terrible cough and runny nose. Sometimes the coach wants you to play. You drop the drops, you gargle, and you think you can play. It’s not like he fainted because he suddenly stopped breathing. It was a consequence of respiratory problems resulting from a cold and an involved throat – he said.
As a result of the whole situation, the former president of the Polish Football Association decided to privately contact Zieliński. “I’m calming down, I talked to Piotrek, everything is under control. Forza Piotrek” – wrote the former union activist on Twitter.
Zieliński may miss Napoli’s next two matches
The latest information on the health of the Polish representative was provided by the daily “La Gazzetta dello Sport”. Journalists reported that Zieliński’s respiratory problems may result from bronchitis. If it were to be confirmed, the midfielder would not be on the pitch in 2021.
The potential absenteeism of the midfielder would mean that he would not appear in the two remaining games Napoli will play in 2021. On December 19, the team from Naples will play away with Milan, and three days later at home with Spezia.
The match of the 17th round ended with a 1-0 victory. A goal worth three points in the 70th minute was scored by Patrick Cutrone. Another Pole played 78 minutes, receiving a yellow card after one hour of the game.
