Inter have sent a message of support to former youth player Nicolo Zaniolo who ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in Italy’s 1-0 UEFA Nations League victory over the Netherlands on Monday night.

Zaniolo joined Inter in 2017 and starred at Primavera level before being dealt to Roma the following Summer as part of a deal that brought Radja Nainggolan to Inter.

The highly rated midfielder has not long returned from the same injury and is to undergo surgery today.

Inter posted: “Forza Nicolo, we are with you.”
