As expected, Roma have announced that Chelsea loanee Davide Zappacosta damaged knee ligaments.

Zappacosta broke down in training on Friday, and it was reported shortly after that he had torn an ACL.

Roma have now confirmed that the 27-year-old sustained the rupture in his right knee.

He had managed just 12 minutes of football for the Giallorossi so far this season and was about to return from a calf problem.

Roma right-back Davide Zappacosta believes his spell at Chelsea has made him a better person and player.

Zappacosta fell out of the first-team picture at Chelsea and subsequently joined Roma on loan, although he still managed 52 appearances in two seasons and a Europa League winners’ medal.

“It’s true that I feel like I’ve matured as a person,” he said at his Giallorossi presentation.

Roma team manager Morgan De Sanctis says Davide Zappacosta will spend the season at the Olimpico, barring ‘exceptional’ circumstances.

Zappacosta joined Roma from Chelsea on Wednesday evening, but their loan for the right-back is for six months with an option to extend until the end of the season.

“Zappacosta’s on loan for six months, with an automatic renewal until June 2020 if exceptional conditions with relation to Chelsea’s transfer ban don’t arrive,” clarified De Sanctis at a Press conference.

Davide Zappacosta had “no doubts” about choosing Roma and remembers their fans “drowned out” the Chelsea supporters at Stamford Bridge.

It is a very unusual transfer, a six-month loan with option to extend until the end of the season.

Before completing the move, he also signed a new contract with Chelsea that runs to June 2022.
