Italian defender Davide Zappacosta has suffered a serious knee injury which is likely to keep him out for the rest of the season.
The right-back, who is currently on loan from Chelsea at Roma, ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during what has been described by the Serie A side’s medical staff as a “non-contact” incident in training.
“During Friday’s training session, defender Davide Zappacosta suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, in a non-contact incident,” Roma said in a statement.
