Anterior cruciate injury for the Argentine, the operation is being evaluated. However, the Calabrian club would like to keep the player for next season

The season is over for Mauro Zarate, who will turn 36 on March 18th. It was immediately understood that a fortuitous collision with Cissé at the start of the second half during Cosenza-Südtirol had caused serious problems in the Argentine forward’s left knee. Confirmation after diagnostic tests performed in the morning: anterior cruciate ligament injury.

SEASON OVER

In fact, the season is over for the rossoblù number 9. “In the next few hours – informs the Calabrian club – the opportunity to intervene surgically will be evaluated”. Arrived with great enthusiasm, he immediately made himself available to coach Viali despite his physical condition not being the best. Debut in the current game with Ternana, then on the pitch from the first minute with Bari and Südtirol. Now the blow. But Cosenza is close to him and has also offered him to renew the existing contract because “he immediately showed great attachment to the shirt and made his talent and experience available to his teammates and technical staff”. The extension of the contract “as a sign of gratitude and a stimulus for a speedy return”, concluded the Via degli Stadi club.
