Alessandro Florenzi's season might be over before it even begins. The former AS Roma and PSG full-back, who was already considered one of the possible departures with only a year left on his contract with AC Milan, collapsed during the friendly match on Saturday against Manchester City in New York.
It was immediately clear that it was something serious, with Florenzi covering his face with his hands and tears in his eyes: news was awaited throughout the day yesterday.
Recently, the results of the MRI arrived, confirming the fears of both the club and the player. Gazzetta dello Sport reports today: "For Florenzi, it's a ligament rupture. Now back to Italy: he will undergo surgery."
It's a true sports tragedy for Alessandro, who has previously had to deal with similar injuries twice before. Meniscus damage was also detected. He will return to Italy and will undergo surgery there.
