Prior to this, Torino captain and forward Zapata suffered a left foot sprain during the match against Juventus, leaving the field in agony. Today, Torino’s official medical report revealed that after instrumental examinations, Zapata has sustained injuries to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), as well as to both the medial and lateral menisci.
Although Torino has not announced the specific duration of his absence, it is clear that such a severe knee injury will keep Zapata off the pitch for a long time. According to estimates by GOAL’s Italian edition, Zapata is likely to miss the rest of the season, with the earliest possible return being sometime next year.
