Confusion around Piotr Zieliñski. And Szczêsny? Judge for yourself [WIDEO]

It was the 23rd minute of the match in Turin, when Lorenzo Insigne entered the home team’s penalty area. The ball was perfectly received by Matteo Politano, who not only pawned it, but also successfully handed it over to Dries Mertens.

The Belgian ran onto the ball and struck a flat shot into the far corner of the goal, giving the lead 1-0. Could Wojciech Szczęsny prevent it? Judge for yourself:

Luciano Spaletti’s team took the lead, though their squad was weakened greatly by the coronavirus, injuries and the African Cup of Nations. Hirving Lozano, Alex Meret and Kevin Malcuit did not play in Turin due to infection. Victor Osimhen was missing due to an injury, and Kalidou Koulibali, Andre Anguissa and Adam Ounas left for the PNA. Additionally, Mario Rui was suspended for the cards.

It was close to the match too. The Pole, who finally played 90 minutes, might have been trembling for his performance on Wednesday. Where does this confusion come from? As it turned out, Zieliński, Amir Rrahmani and Stanislav Lobotka had contact with an infected person, and more than 120 days had passed since the last dose of the vaccine, so the players did not meet the new rules of the Italian government. The three Napoli players mentioned were not vaccinated with the third dose of the COVID-19 preparation.

Draw in the hit Serie A

All three played in the end, but the weakened Napoli was not able to bring the lead to the end. In the 54th minute Juan Cuadrado played in the visitors’ penalty area, and Alvaro Morata lost the header. The ball, however, fell under the feet of Federico Chiesa, who defeated David Ospina with a precise shot.

After 20 rounds, Napoli is third in the table with 40 points behind Inter Milan and five behind AC Milan. he is in 5th position and is five points behind Napoli.

Both teams will play the next matches on Sunday. Napoli will take on Sampdoria and Juventus will face AS Roma away.
