Six Nations blow for Italy as teenage Saints wing Todaro tears cruciate

Northampton Saints wing Edoardo Todaro is facing a long lay-off after suffering a serious knee injury at a training camp with Italy.

The Italian Rugby Federation website say diagnostic tests had confirmed a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee.

“The player will return to his club where he will continue his recovery and rehabilitation process, supported by the Northampton medical staff in collaboration with the men’s national team medical staff,” a statement added.

His scoring exploits earned him a call-up to Italy’s senior squad and he made his international debut as a replacement against Chile in November.

He had been named in the Azzurri’s squad for the forthcoming Six Nations Championship.

Born in Milan, Todaro came to England at the age of 14 to study at Ipswich School where he was spotted by Northampton.
