00:00Just to check first of all, how is Giovanni Leone, what's the prognosis there?

00:04And on the flip side of the disappointment for him,

00:06does it also open up a place in the Champions League squad for Federico Chiesa now?

00:11Yeah, that last thing is true.

00:13And the first thing, he's not in a good place, of course,

00:18because he tore his ACL, which means that he will be out for around a year.

00:23So, being so young, coming to a new country,

00:28playing so well in your first game,

00:31it's very hard to take the positive side,

00:33no, there's never a positive side,

00:35but you always try to look at a positive side,

00:37and that is that he's still so young,

00:39so that he has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that.
