Zielinski Faces Two-Month Layoff Due to Calf Injury

Inter Milan midfielder Piotr Zielinski is facing a significant injury setback after suffering a calf injury just three minutes into his appearance against Monza in a Serie A match. The Poland international, who replaced Henrikh Mkhitaryan, went down in visible pain, raising concerns about the severity of the injury. Medical tests have revealed a medial ligament injury, likely sidelining him for at least two months, which could impact his participation in critical matches as Inter competes for the Serie A title. Zielinski's absence will be felt as Inter navigates a busy schedule, including Champions League fixtures. The team is already dealing with multiple injuries to key players, exacerbating their challenges. His potential return may align with the FIFA Club World Cup scheduled for June.
