The Brazil-born 22-year-old had been named in a young Italy squad by Gianpiero Ventura for an upcoming friendly against San Marino, recieving his first international call.
“Emerson Palmieri was subjected to instrumental tests that have highlighted the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee,” a Roma statement read.
