Zaniolo injury, controls in Villa Stuart: there are fears for the crusader

In the end, the hardest diagnosis came, the most feared, for Nicolò Zaniolo. Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee: this was established by the exams carried out in the morning at Villa Stuart by the Roma midfielder, after the injury he corrected yesterday in the national team against the Netherlands. Recovery time: another six months. Practically the same injury after which he repaired in January against Juventus on the other knee, his right.

“It is a strong distortion, very important. Otherwise, we will see it tomorrow.” These are the words of Professor Ferretti immediately after the game. Zaniolo arrived at Villa Stuart at 9 with his girlfriend Sara and one of his collaborators. Inside the clinic, Dr. Costa, from Rome. Light-colored shorts, black shirt, no crutches, Nicolò limped a little when he arrived. On the way out, however, he seemed understandably angry.
