Valencia boss Marcelino admits Simone Zaza needs knee surgery after aggravating a meniscus tear while training with Italy.
Zaza’s nine goals for Valencia have fired them to second in La Liga, with only Barcelona above them, but his campaign could be disrupted after Marcelino revealed the striker already had an injury before he pulled out of Italy’s World Cup playoff against Sweden.
“Zaza’s had a partial tear in the external meniscus of his knee for a while,” the Coach said at a Press conference.

“Zaza’s had a partial tear in the external meniscus of his knee for a while,” the Coach said at a Press conference.
“Sometimes it’s blocked and he can’t play. He’s okay for now, but at some point he’ll have to undergo surgery. It can’t be cured with rest.”
