Alessandro Florenzi posted an emotional message after the Roma squad visited him in the clinic. “I’m a lucky man and player.”
The Italy international ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in October 2016 and was just days away from a complete comeback when he tore it again in training.
He underwent surgery yesterday and is expected to be out of action for another four to five months.
Before today’s Serie A game with Torino at the Stadio Olimpico, the entire team went to visit Florenzi at the Villa Stuart Clinic.
