Report – Inter Milan Midfielder Ruled Out Of Finland vs Poland World Cup Qualifier Due To Calf Injury | OneFootball

Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski sustained a calf injury in the build-up to Finland’s home World Cup qualifier against Poland.

Per SportTVP via FCInter1908, the 31-year-old will miss today’s fixture in Helsinki.

Despite his underwhelming first season at San Siro, Piotr Zielinski remains one of Poland’s standout performers.

Furthermore, he earned the captain’s armband after a quarrel between Robert Lewandowski and head coach Michal Probierz.

As one of the Eagles’ longest-serving stars, Zielinski commands immense respect within the national team setup.

Today should have been a landmark occasion for Zielinski.

Indeed, he is one game away from completing a century of appearances for the national team.

However, he’ll have to wait for his 100th match in the Poland jersey.

Meanwhile, his injury raises questions over his availability for the FIFA Club World Cup next week.

Inter will travel to North America in two days, and Zielinski should be part of the traveling squad.

Yet, whether he’ll be at Cristian Chivu’s disposal remains uncertain.
