Roma have confirmed that new signing Mario Rui has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.
It was feared this morning that the defender had suffered a serious injury on tour in the USA, and the former Empoli man was sent for scans.
“Mario Rui has been diagnosed with an anterior cruciate ligament injury following medical examinations on Saturday,” a statement confirmed.
“The Portuguese full-back twisted his knee during Friday's afternoon training session in Boston.
“Mario Rui will travel back to Rome later on Saturday and undergo arthroscopic surgery over the next few days.”
An injury of that kind would usually keep a player out of action for around four to six months.
