New Injury Boost For Inter Milan As Ex Napoli Star Races Towards Early Recovery – Possible Return Date Revealed | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski is reportedly making significant progress in his recovery path. He could thus make his return to action ahead of schedule.

The Italian champions have been particularly unfortunate with injuries during their pre-season preparations.

Stefan de Vrij became the latest victim, suffering a muscle strain in his left thigh during his cameo appearance against Al-Ittihad on Wednesday. The club confirmed the news in an official statement earlier today.

Nevertheless, there have been some reassurances over the conditions of Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic.

The two strikers could rejoin their teammates in group training between Tuesday and Wednesday. Hence, they might be available for selection ahead of the Serie A opener against Genoa.

The Nerazzurri are kickstarting their title defense campaign in an away fixture at the Luigi Ferraris on August 17th.

Moreover, FcInter1908 delivers positive updates on Zielinski as well.

Based on previous assessments, many at the club feared the Pole was even at risk of skipping the third matchday of the season against Atalanta.

Piotr Zielinski Could Return For Inter Milan Vs Lecce Serie A Clash

Nevertheless, the source insists that the 30-year-old is making comprehensive progress on his road towards recovery.

Some are even toying with the notion of a miraculous recovery which would see him return to action ahead of the Serie A opener.

However, the report adopts a more realistic approach. It tips the midfielder to rejoin his teammates for the second round of the season against Lecce.

This would be Inter’s first appearance of the season in front of their home crowds at San Siro.

This occasion would make for an inviting opportunity for Zielinski to make his Nerazzurri bow.

The Polish midfielder decided to put an end to his eight-year collaboration with Napoli by seeing out his contract with Partenopei before signing for the Nerazzurri on a free transfer last month.
