Luke Johnson presumably still out injured.
Indeed, Zielinsky is playing with Frantzen this tournie. No doubt Luke hoping he will be back for the FO, I wonder if he will try to make one of the two events in the week before the FO?
After the MRI scan Luke was told 6-12 weeks but the LTA doctor said don't completely rule out French Open participation. It seems very uncertain at the moment, has to see how it stabilises, surgery not ruled out yet.
Info from the Tennis Unfiltered podcast involving Luke's coach Calvin Betton.

8-12 would rule out Wimbledon as well. And just for a warm up injury
At the end of the FO, LTR's 5 week projections show:
eq1 - Henry 7000 and Harri 7000
3. Neal 6960
eq4 - Lloyd and Julian 6950
6 Zeballos 5520
7 Granollers 5430
Joe would be 10th on 4060
Unless Zeballos and Granollers defend their FO title, it looks v much that one of 4 Brits and/or Harri could be post FO number one. Even if they defend the FO, any of those other 6 are in close distance to be able to take the top spot.
So yes, looks a bit of a shootout as to who can get most points from the next 4 weeks among those currently projected top 5.
Of course Zeballos and Granollers are no doubt well capable of another French Open title. Add back in 2,000 points if they manage that and they would set current marks of 7520 and 7430 respectively, requiring 720 point SFs from the others to be ahead of them.
A moveable feast of course with potentially big points from Rome to be added in first.

H and H joined Neal in the second round today; Julian and Lloyd still to play. G and Z also won, but 12-10 in the MTB against an Italian pairing.
