Fiorentina Confirm Lamptey ACL Tear After Como Injury

Fiorentina says he underwent ACL reconstruction after tests in Rome, leaving his return date unspecified.

Overview

  • The club reports an isolated tear of the left anterior cruciate ligament for right-back Tariq Lamptey.
  • Medical staff performed a diagnostic arthroscopy followed by a complete ligament reconstruction.
  • Fiorentina declined to set a timetable, with media estimates ranging from about four months (Sky Sport Italia) to roughly seven months.
  • Lamptey was forced off 22 minutes into his first start against Como after an awkward landing in an aerial duel.
  • The summer signing from Brighton for around €6m plus add-ons had logged only about 25 minutes for Fiorentina and is set to miss Ghana’s upcoming national-team activities.
