Paltry in Bologna meeting Zaccagni drew four fouls and recorded one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Zaccagni was rather slippery and once again the main catalyst of the Lazio offense, but was rarely dangerous in the thick of it. He has had one or more shots and multiple crosses in the last five matches, piling up eight (three on target) and 16 (two accurate), respectively and registering one goal, nine key passes and 10 corners over that span.

Leader in shots, crosses Zaccagni took two shots (one on goal) and crossed four times (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Milan.

Impact Zaccagni was held off the scoresheet despite leading Lazio in both shots and crosses during the defeat. The attacker has combined for four shots, five chances created and 12 crosses over his last three appearances as a crucial member of the squad when fit.

Six corners in home win Zaccagni registered one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 2-0 win against Lecce.

Impact Zaccagni took six corners, having only taken one corner before this game this season. He failed to complete any of his six crosses but did create one chance. This means he has created a chance in each of his last six matches and has scored three goals so far this season.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Creates four chances in loss Zaccagni had one off-target shot, created four chances, sent in two inaccurate crosses, drew eight fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Zaccagni couldn't score as he did in the previous match but still delivered a lot, especially on the playmaking department as he paced his team in chances created and forced the opposition to use fouls to stop him during the entire game. With three goals over 10 league starts, the attacker can't always rely on scoring to be a factor from a fantasy standpoint, hence he'll need to repeat stat lines like this one more frequently after a relatively slow start of campaign.

Silent in Pisa bout Zaccagni drew four fouls and recorded one cross (zero accurate), one tackle (zero won) and one chance created in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Pisa.

He has logged one or more tackles in six straight appearances, totaling 12 (two accurate).

Takes three shots in Juventus tilt Zaccagni generated three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Juventus.

Impact Zaccagni co-led his team in attempts but missed the mark in all of them and wasn't too dynamic in general. He matched his season in that sense. He has tracked back a lot in recent games, posting multiple tackles in his last five displays, accumulating 11 (two won). He has scored once and added nine shots (three on target), two key passes and five crosses (one accurate) over that span.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Creates one chance against Atalanta Zaccagni (thigh) had one key pass, one cross (one accurate) and two tackles (zero won) and drew three fouls in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Atalanta.

Impact Zaccagni managed to return quickly and was reasonably active on the wing, but he didn't rack up stats in this one and wasn't threatening. He failed to register a shot after doing so in his previous four appearances. He has logged two or more tackles in his last four showings, amassing nine (one won) and recording six attempts (three on target), one chance created and four crosses (one accurate), with one goal.

Spotted in training Zaccagni (thigh) has healed more quickly than anticipated and practiced fully Thursday, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Zaccagni has improved in a hurry from an adductor problem and, if he doesn't experience setbacks in the next couple of days, he could return to the XI over Tijjani Noslin and other wingers. He has scored twice and added nine shots (five on target), one chance created and seven crosses (zero accurate) in five showings.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss more matches Zaccagni has been diagnosed with a grade one adductor strain and will be sidelined for three to four weeks, Corriere dello Sport informed.

Impact Zaccagni is tentatively expected to skip the contests with Atalanta and Juventus and return shortly thereafter, but it'll depend on how he responds to the treatment. Pedro, Gustav Tang Isaksen and Tijjani Noslin will handle the left wing in relief.

Questionable for Torino tilt Zaccagni is in doubt for Saturday's game versus Torino due to a late muscular problem, Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Zaccagni made the initial squad list but is at risk of not playing in this one after picking up an ailment in the final training sessions. He'll go through one final evaluation Saturday. Pedro, Boulaye Dia and Tijjani Noslin would be candidates to take his place if he were unable to start.

Engulfed by Roma Zaccagni drew three fouls and registered one shot (one on goal), two tackles (zero won) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Roma.

Impact Zaccagni had a subpar performance as Lazio didn't generate much offense other than a late desperate siege near the end of the fixture. He has launched one or more crosses in the first four games, totaling seven (zero accurate), scoring once and posting seven shots (four on target), one key pass and five tackles (zero won).

Scores against Verona Zaccagni scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target), four interceptions and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Verona.
