AS Roma and Italy midfielder Nicolò Zaniolo used Twitter to pledge that he would "come back stronger than before" after suffering a cruciate-ligament injury in his right knee in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Juventus.
The 20-year-old, widely considered Italian soccer's most promising talent, looks likely to miss the rest of the Serie A season and probably Euro 2020 too.
The player arrived at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome on crutches on Monday to have surgery.
