Italy winger and
Turkey defender injured in Roma 1-2 JuventusPSG and Monaco share points in six-goal thrillerNicolo Zaniolo will have surgery on Monday after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during Roma’s 2-1 defeat to Juventus. The winger, who is a pivotal part of both the Roma and
Italy teams, will miss the rest of the Serie A season and will likely miss the European Championships, with the meniscus in his right knee also said to be damaged.
Juventus’ defender Merih Demiral suffered an identical injury after jumping for a high ball. The 21-year-old was taken for tests on Monday morning, where Juve doctors confirmed the injury. It is a bitter blow for Turkey, with whom Demiral has been superb through qualifying, forming a defensive partnership with Leicester City’s Caglar Soyuncu.
