A season of bad fortune for Stefano Sturaro. In the match against Torino two weeks ago, he picked up an injury, specifically to his knee. As a result, he had to have surgery and has been sidelined for the remainder of the season; he will return to the field for the 2019/2020 campaign. Below, the official club statement.
