Nicolò Zaniolo has raised concerns at Udinese. As reported by Messaggero Veneto, the 1999-born player was substituted in the 90th minute by Oier Zarraga due to a potential physical problem. Consequently, the club has scheduled diagnostic tests, which is standard procedure in such situations. An MRI scan will provide clarity, and coach Kosta Runjaic would ideally want Zaniolo available for the next match.

Runjaic's comments

After being a significant topic of discussion throughout the summer, the coach shared his thoughts on the number 10: "I am very happy with how he performed on the field last year. Zaniolo is a very important player for the team, but he needs a team behind him, teammates who help him play. So, this year I expect from him, but also growth from the entire team, which can also foster Zaniolo's development."
