With 30 minutes on the clock in the match against Juventus, Nicolò Zaniolo saw his how his season was falling apart due to a terrible injury, cruciate ligament damage in the right knee which will keep him out for a long time.
The medical staff entered quickly on to the park to treat the young Italy star, but what in principle seemed to be a sprain was forgotten about after the final verdict on his injury.
After going to surgery on Monday morning, and according to the local media, the Roma medics have determined that he will be out for at least 6 months. A tremendous blow for one of Roma's best players.
At just 20 years old, Zaniolo will have to overcome a hard recovery process that will mean he will be out for Euro 2020, which he was going to be called up for to help Italy return to the top.
