Soccer: Zapata season KO after ACL and meniscus tear

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 7 - Torino's Colombia striker and skipper Duván Zapata's season is over after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus after twisting his knee in an unnatural way during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Inter Milan, Granata sources said Monday.
    Scans on the 33-year-old "have highlighted a lesion of the anterior cruciate ligament, the medial meniscus and the lateral meniscus", Torino said.
    "The entire Torino Football Club affectionately embraces Duvan with the hope of seeing him again as a protagonist on the pitch with the Granata shirt as soon as possible" was the message from the club.
    Zapata, who scored the opening goal in the game at San Siro, had left the pitch early in the match against the Serie A champs and currently second-placed club after an unnatural rotation of the knee. (ANSA).
