Not long ago, after recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, attacking midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo of the "Roma" team and Italy's national team once again faced the same problem. The 21-year-old footballer did not finish the UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands on Monday, and on Tuesday it was revealed that N. Zaniolo will undergo surgery again. Tests showed that the attacking midfielder tore his cruciate ligament for the second time in less than eight months. It is estimated that "Roma" will have to do without this player until the month of February. N. Zaniolo managed to play 33 matches last season, scoring 8 goals and making 3 assists.
