The Italian international will almost certainly miss the 2020 European Championships as a result of the serious knee injury.

For AS Roma, Xerdan Shaqiri is the perfect option to replace the injured Zaniolo by they are expected to meet a resistance from Reds boss Jurgen Klopp in their quest to sign the Swiss international player.
Shaqiri has struggled for fitness this season and that has led to just a handful of appearances thus leading to rumours that he wants to leave the Merseyside giants in this winter transfer market.
