Roma forward Nicolò Zaniolo will operate tomorrow, as the tests at Villa Stuart revealed a second ACL injury in only eight months, this time in the left knee.
The Giallorossi confirmed the attacking midfielder, who ruptured his ACL in the right knee during a match against Juventus in January, requires another operation, but this time on his left knee.
The Roma midfielder went off just before half-time in Italy’s 1-0 win against Holland in the UEFA Nations League.
“Nicolò Zaniolo will undergo surgery on Wednesday after MRI scans today confirmed the player has suffered a
complete tear to the anterior cruciate ligament,” the club wrote in a statement.
“For the many people who are asking me how I am, this morning I carried out the tests that highlighted the rupture of the cruciate ligament in my left knee,” Zaniolo wrote on Instagram.
“I thank everyone, both Roma fans and others for the support… I’ll be back soon!” - Nicolò Zaniolo
Stay strong and overcome this one as well.
