(Reuters) - AS Roma midfielder Alessandro Florenzi had surgery on Friday after medical tests confirmed he had sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury to his left knee for the second time this season.
"This morning Alessandro Florenzi underwent further tests that confirmed our initial suspicion, which is that he has torn the same anterior cruciate ligament," the Serie A club said in a statement.
