I will be starting a thread counting down the days to Zaniolo’s return beginning tomorrow 
This is inspired by @GrazieTotti91’s thread for Florenzi when he tore his ACL. We are waiting for you Nico @ASRomaEN

Day 1 without Nicolò 
He will be getting surgery today and I’m praying it all goes well 
I haven’t been this down in awhile, everyone keep Nicolò in your prayers #ForzaNico

Day 2 without Nicolò
The fact that I won’t get to see him play until next season is starting to sink in and I can’t believe it 
His surgery was successful yesterday and he will begin his rehab process today, Daje Nico

Day 3 without Nicolò 
Roma posted a great video with one line that really stuck to me, it basically said “you are the son of Rome even though you aren’t from here”. Even though he isn’t from Rome everything he represents is Roman, he’s our symbol #ForzaNico

Day 4 without Nicolò 
The Politano transfer is all up in the air and nobody knows what’s going on. I can’t wait to see him back in the squad, the fact that I won’t see him play until next season still hasn’t sunk in

Day 5 without Nicolò 
With all of these tough games coming up it’ll be tough without Nico but we’re gonna have to push through it. We will avenge you next Wednesday Nico #ForzaNico

Day 6 without Nicolò 
The Pope will be giving Nico a special bible, this truly shows how much he not only means to the club but the city of Rome as a whole. #ForzaNico

Day 7 without Nicolo We are playing Genoa in a few hours away from home with Santon and Spina at fullback, I’m worried but hoping we can get the result. It’s officially one week since the injury and I’m still in disbelief, I miss seeing you play Nico. #ForzaNico

Day 8 without Nicolo We’ve got two games coming up that we could really use him in, Juve on Wednesday and Lazio on the weekend. I really hope the players go into the Juve game with the mindset of avenging Nico, knocking them out would be amazing. #ForzaNico
We’ve got two games coming up that we could really use him in, Juve on Wednesday and Lazio on the weekend. I really hope the players go into the Juve game with the mindset of avenging Nico, knocking them out would be amazing. #ForzaNico
Day 9/10 (I sent 9 out last night but I just realized it never sent) We are playing Juve today and its a chance to rewrite what happened last time, lets win this for Nico today #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 11 and we just got a reminder from Juve that we are not on that level yet. We got the derby this Sunday and that’s a match I would of loved Nico to score in but he has plenty of derbies to win in his career once he’s back. #ForzaNico
Day 12/13 and once again I need to make sure the tweet sends before I close the app... today 1,000 romanisti showed up with a banner saying “win for Nicolò” and I was happy he was able to be there and see that. Lets fight for Nico tomorrow
Day 14 and it’s officially been two weeks since his injury. It’s derby day and just like all the fans said yesterday at Trigoria, this is for you Nico #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 15... we drew 1-1 against Lazio in a game we should have won but imo it was our best performance of the season. There was a beautiful clip of Nico chanting “džeko” with the tifosi after his goal. Happy to see him in great spirits #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 17... Carles Perez will be arriving in Rome today and I’m optimistic he will do well here. He can also play on the left flank so if he does well we can have two strong and reliable wide players next season #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 18... Perez and Villar have both arrived and trained with the team today, excited to see if they can help us earn a UCL spot. It’s crazy how much of a void is left without Nico, now we all understand his value even more than we already did. #ForzaNico
Day 19... Petrachi said that we are not done in this transfer window yet so I’m sure we will end up signing someone today out of nowhere like usual. I really wish Nico was healthy, he was having such a great season and I was hoping he could carry us far in the UEL. #ForzaNico
Day 20... We are playing Sassuolo today and we need to get all three points. I’m looking forward to seeing Perez get some minutes, people have said he can play on the left so like I said previously if he plays well until June we will be scary on the wing #ForzaNico
Day 21... we lost 4-2 to Sassuolo and it was a complete embarrassment. Mancio had his first really big disaster of a game which I will give him a pass for since he’s been good this season. Cristante was terrible and we were just terrible as a whole. COMEBACK NICO #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 22... After yesterday’s performance I’m interested to see how the team responds, this is a real test of the teams mental strength. It really bothers me knowing Nico can’t play till next season because now he loses half a season of experience #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 23... Diawara is at risk of having season ending surgery and what makes it worse is seeing how badly the team needs him and Nico after watching the last few weeks and that Sassuolo game. We really need top 4 and I hope we can pull it off #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 24... looking at the positives, I think some time off for Nico to look back at this crazy year and a half he’s had is great. He finally has some time to take a step back after what must have been a crazy fast paced time in his young life. #ForzaNico
Day 25... Im really interested to see how Pastore performs this Friday because before his injury he was playing extremely well (assuming he plays). Another thought, I wonder if Nico will remain as a winger for most of his career or return to being a trequartista
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 26... We play Bologna tonight in a match we really need to win, we can’t let these points get away from us. I know Nicolò will be supporting us at the stadio tonight, Forza Roma #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 27... Not much to say about today except I’m so disappointed by our performance. The mental weakness that we’ve seen in past seasons is creeping up again, I’m praying we can get over this hump. Nico sat with Lorenzo and watched the game from the stands #ForzaNico
Day 28... Here’s a picture of Nico getting some work in at Trigoria yesterday morning. Im happy to see him be able to be more mobile and get better day by day #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 29... the players had a day off yesterday and will return to training in a few hours, after the last few losses Fonseca has mentioned the players mentalities not being strong enough so I’m curious to see how he can fix it. Lets do it for Nico #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 30... Some teams never find out how important a young star is to their team until they are either injured or sold, I’m not implying that he is the sole reason we are in this slump but it’s no coincidence that as soon as he went down our form flipped 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 31... We play Atalanta this weekend in Bergamo and I can’t stop thinking about which Roma we’re gonna see. We need to see a team with urgency who realize what’s at stake, I liked Perez against Bologna so hopefully he can help fill the void of Nico for the season #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 32... It looks like Nico has put a lot of focus on getting even stronger instead of wasting his time off, the comeback is always greater than the setback #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 33... It’s the day before Atalanta-Roma and my nerves are beginning to kick in. This game can either make or break us, lets hope we can pull off a win and begin a steady run of good performances. Here’s a random note, my friend spotted someone in a Zaniolo jersey
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 34... We play Atalanta in what I’m expecting to be an “ugly” game regardless of a win, draw or loss. Bring it home for all of us tifosi and Nicolò #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 35... We lost to Atalanta and continue our run of poor form. I wish I could point at one specific thing that is causing these performances but it’s a multitude of issues that we need to fix. Ever since Nico went down we’ve won one game, we need to come together. #ForzaNico
Day 36... Time for us to focus on the Europa league against Gent this Thursday. Nicolò was absolutely dominating in the Europa league, really would of liked to see him continue #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 37... It’s so sad seeing the fan base go from excited for the future and what Fonseca can bring to the city to wanting most of the players out and the manager. I really hope we can manage a UCL spot and build a strong team around Nico next season. #ForzaNico
Day 38... Diawara is back! I’m not sure if he will play tomorrow or on Sunday but he’s back in training I can’t wait till the day I finally get to tweet that Nico is back, what a day that’ll be #ForzaNico
I can’t wait till the day I finally get to tweet that Nico is back, what a day that’ll be #ForzaNico
Day 39... We play Gent in the first leg of the round of 32 in the Europa League. I don’t even want to know what the fan base will be saying if we lose this match, we’ve been saying this a lot lately but we must win this game at all costs and comfortably! Daje #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 40... WE WON A GAME It feels good to finally say that, we played poorly but we got the result and I was happy to see Carles Perez score. I really hope he continues what he did today and can form a dangerous attack partnership with Nico next season #ForzaNico

Day 41... Nico got a new tattoo yesterday, looks good 
It was nice to see Nico watching the match this past Thursday with El Sha at the stadium #ForzaNico
It was nice to see Nico watching the match this past Thursday with El Sha at the stadium #ForzaNico
Day 42... Today we play Lecce and like I’ve been saying for the past couple of weeks it’s a must win. I’m hoping Perez can continue what he started against Gent and we improve our play as a whole Lets make Nico proud #ForzaNico
Lets make Nico proud #ForzaNico
Day 43... We put on a great performance today and I couldn’t be any happier. Nicolò was at the game and like all of us, he is probably praying we get a UCL spot. Keep it up, Forza Roma. #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 44... It’s been 44 days and it’s felt like a few years. I can’t wait to see this at the Olimpico again next season #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 45... The second leg against Gent is tomorrow and I’m feeling confident but also a little worried knowing that we tend to play down to teams levels in Europe. I really wish I could watch Nico rip those Belgian chocolate makers apart tomorrow #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 46... It’s game day against Gent, if we can stay focused for a full 90 minutes we should be able to pull this off Here’s a random pic from Nico’s IG story yesterday 
#ForzaNico

Day 47... We drew 1-1 against Gent which means we are through to the round of 16! The draw is in a few hours and knowing our luck we will get a tough matchup but I’m optimistic no matter who we play. I wouldn’t mind embarrassing Nico’s ex team, Inter.

Day 48... Tomorrow we play Cagliari and it’s one of those games where you know we are in for a tough test. We’ve been having so many matches in such a short period of time so I don’t care how we do it just get the three points and get out p.s... I miss Nicolò Zaniolo #ForzaNico
p.s... I miss Nicolò Zaniolo #ForzaNico
Day 49... We play Cagliari today and there’s a lot of pressure on us to get the three points after Napoli’s win against Torino, this is a must win game. Do it for Nicolò and do it for all of us romanisti Daje Ragazzi #ForzaNico
Daje Ragazzi #ForzaNico
Day 50... We won 4-3 against Cagliari in a crazy back and forth match. We finally get a proper week off and have some time to recover. Grazie Roma and we love you Nico #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 51... @GrazieTotti91 warned me this would be hard and he wasn’t wrong. I’m only 51 days in and I’m starting to struggle but there’s no way I’ll stop this thread until Nico finally makes his return to the pitch, I can’t wait #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 54... Yesterday it was announced that Roma-Samp has been postponed, here’s one of my favourite pics of Nicolò. Isn’t this just beautiful #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 55... His father Igor has said that Nicolò playing in the euros all depends on Roma. The most important thing is his health and I know the club will put that before anything else #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 56... We were supposed to play today but having this extra day of rest is a good thing because it’ll help us going into the game against Sevilla. Side note, I really hope the club releases a sit down interview with Nico talking about his recovery. #ForzaNico
Day 57... It was nice to see Amadou back on the pitch after so long this past weekend with the primavera, it seems like he will return very soon and I can’t wait. Players like Amadou and Nico can be our centrepieces for years to come, we MUST keep them. #ForzaNico
Day 58... Today the Serie A season was postponed until April 3rd, it’s going to be a long few weeks without our Roma on the weekends A few reporters have suggested that the euros may get postponed, maybe Nico will get to play in the euros after all? #ForzaNico
A few reporters have suggested that the euros may get postponed, maybe Nico will get to play in the euros after all? #ForzaNico
Day 59... Tomorrow we are playing Sevilla but it’s been reported by a few sources that there are complications with our flight to Spain due to the virus. Lets hope everything gets sorted and we can arrive without any issues, let’s get a result for Nico #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 60... The match today against Sevilla has been postponed, I have nothing else to say but let’s just hope this virus slows down #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 61... All of the major sports leagues I follow have postponed all their games, as the days go on I keep seeing more and more athletes getting the virus and it feels like we are living a nightmare. Nico seems to be in good spirits though, let’s get through this #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 62... It looks like Nico will make the Euros after all, there is no euros with no Nico #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 63... Nicolò showed appreciation to the fans today after reposting a video of them singing Grazie Roma #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 64... I’ve been self isolating myself for the past few days and one thing I’ve been doing a lot of is watching Nico’s highlights from this season, his improvement as a winger in comparison to last season is night and day. Can’t wait to see him back on the pitch #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 66... Nico took part in the challenge that all the players have been doing to help spread the word to donate to hospitals so they can help find a cure. Daje Nico #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 67... With the recent news of the euros being pushed to the summer of 2021 we can look forward to seeing this assuming all goes well next season 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 68... Who else misses hearing this? #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 72... I’ve been watching a lot of Nico’s interviews and highlight videos while being in quarantine and it’s really helped me pass the time. Lets all get through this tough time together #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 73... I feel like every star player has had a game in the champions league when they were at the beginning of their career where they made fans of other teams begin to take notice, this was Nico’s game 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 74... Even with all the anxiousness and fright going on in the world, Nico seems to be staying positive 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 75... Nico posted this on his Instagram story 
I really hope this means he’s been recovering quickly At the end of the day I don’t care how long it takes, I just want him to come back stronger than before and I know he will #ForzaNico

Day 76... Zaniolo went on IG live yesterday on @OfficialASRoma’s account and answered a bunch of questions from the fans. It’s been awhile since we’ve all heard from him so it made my day #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 81... As soon as the kits for next season come out I’m getting the home kit with Nico on the back, if these leaked kits are real then wow #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 82... This goal was not talked about enough when it first happened So many players would have given up on that play and let the ball run by but not Nico #ForzaNico
So many players would have given up on that play and let the ball run by but not Nico #ForzaNico
Day 87... 
we are all waiting Nico, we can’t wait to sing your name even louder than before #ForzaNico
we are all waiting Nico, we can’t wait to sing your name even louder than before #ForzaNico
Day 92... What’s better than a Zaniolo goal? Nothing. #ForzaNico
Day 95... I’ve seen a few reports saying that Roma are interested in extending Nico’s contract and increasing his salary to €3M annually, some may say that it’s a risk to give him this much money after coming off a serious injury but I know he will be back stronger #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 96... What an amazing run #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 97... Even though he didn’t score, in my opinion one of Nico’s best games from this season was against Lazio. He ripped them apart all match and came so close to scoring so many times. I can’t wait for him to score his first derby goal, what a sight that’ll be #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 98... A pre-recorded interview with Nico will be played tonight on Sky and I can’t wait to hear what he has to say, I’m hoping he gives us a recovery update #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 99... In his interview with Sky Sport yesterday Nico said that he’d like to become the bandiera of Roma and there’s nothing I’d like more #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 100... We’ve finally made it, we’ve hit triple digits. This doesn’t really mean much either then the fact that every day we are inching closer to seeing Nico back on the field #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 101... Is this Nicolò Zaniolo or Antonello Venditti #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 104... Me going into this weekend like... #ForzaNico
Day 107... Nico’s father said in an interview that he’s had to tell him to calm down sometimes because he will train up to three hours Keep going Nico, we will be waiting #ForzaNico
Keep going Nico, we will be waiting #ForzaNico
Day 112... Seeing Totti praise Nico the other day was a beautiful sight “He is a great player, young and promising”. #ForzaNico
“He is a great player, young and promising”. #ForzaNico
Day 113... I already know who’s name I’m getting on the back of next seasons kit when it gets released 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 116... Players can return to training today individually, hopefully there’s some kind picture that gets released of Nico running #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 120... After losing a game of FIFA against his friend, Nico had to sing on Instagram live 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 121... Getting closer and closer #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 122... “Strength grows in the moments when you think you can’t go on but you keep going anyway” #ForzaNico
Day 126... Reports about Nico potentially being sacrificed because of our financial situation just came out and of course Liverpool is interested. As soon as I saw the reports a shiver went down my spine and I had flashbacks. Please don’t do this to me again #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 127... The sun is out and team training is back 
I know not all teams will be training and I’m not sure if Roma will be but I guess I’ll find out in a few hours #ForzaNico
I know not all teams will be training and I’m not sure if Roma will be but I guess I’ll find out in a few hours #ForzaNico
Day 129... It’s selfish of me to say but I really want the season to resume, I miss watching my Roma way too much and I can’t wait to see Nico back on the pitch #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 135... A scary thought just creeped into my mind, when will we get to see visuals of players we love embracing their supporters again? Nobody knows how long it’ll be until we are all reunited but until then we will continue to show our love from home #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 138... The Serie A has officially been confirmed to restart on June 20 which means we will be seeing Nico back on the pitch very soon #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 139... My household after they hear me scream at the top of my lungs when Nico scores his first goal back from injury #ForzaNico
Day 141... This is one of my favourite goal celebrations from the past few seasons. Seeing Nico and DDR together was a great sight to see #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 142... Work in silence, let your success be your noise #ForzaNico
Day 145... His ability to dribble past multiple players at a time is so underrated especially considering how difficult that is to do in a league like the Serie A. At the age of 20 he makes it look so effortless and this is only the beginning #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 146... I saw a report that Nico will be returning to team training next week, lets hope it’s true 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 148... Nico is expected to return to full team training today based off all the reports I’ve been reading 
#ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 149... Nico’s return to training will be held off till next week because of a minor nasal surgery that will take 2-3 days for him to fully recover from. Lets hope all goes well and we can see him back with the squad next week #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 153... Yesterday the first game since the break was played and even though it wasn’t Roma it was still good to sit down and enjoy calcio again. I’m looking forward to the 24th #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 154... I know I said this last week but I’ve seen reports saying Nico will return to full team training tomorrow and the reason he didn’t last week was due to his nasal surgery which he needed 2-3 days to recover from. Once again, lets hope it’s true #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 155... Today could be the day I’ll be constantly checking my twitter to see if there’s any photos of Nico training with the team #ForzaNico
I’ll be constantly checking my twitter to see if there’s any photos of Nico training with the team #ForzaNico
Day 156... There were no signs of Nico training yesterday, at this point I just need to be patient and let it happen when it happens. Can’t wait #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 157... Roma is back in one week
Day 158... On IG live with Spina today, Nico said that he’ll return to the group in 2-3 weeks Just need to be patient #ForzaNico
Just need to be patient #ForzaNico
Day 160... THE SERIE A IS BACK TODAY!!! #ForzaNico
Day 161... Atalanta plays Sassuolo today and we need Atalanta to drop points so hopefully Sassuolo can do us a favour #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 162... A few reports have said that Nico will be training with the primavera squad today #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 164... OUR ROMA IS BACK Today we will be playing Samp and it really does feel like today will show how we will end off this season as a whole based off the way we perform. Daje Ragazzi #ForzaNico

Day 165... What a game We played very well and both goals were sensational, now I’m even more excited to see Nico back on the pitch #ForzaNico
We played very well and both goals were sensational, now I’m even more excited to see Nico back on the pitch #ForzaNico
Day 167... Tomrorow we play Milan and I’m hoping we can continue this little bit of momentum that we garnered against Samp. I wish Nico was available because he’s had some really good games against Milan #ForzaNico
Day 169... We lost to Milan today in a game where we looked compeletly out of it after 25 minutes. It’s almost like we’re missing something #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
NICO IS BACK IN FIRST TEAM TRAINING 
Day 171... Tomorrow is Nico’s birthday and we just so happen to be playing tomorrow as well #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Lets get all three points for Nico today
Day 173... We got embarrassed by Udinese, that was such a tough match to watch. Now we have Friday and Saturday off before we play Napoli on Sunday. I doubt Nico will be called up for that match but I do feel like his return could be next Wednesday against Parma #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 174.... We are all patiently awaiting your return Nico. Whenever you’re ready, we will be too. #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
Day 175... Today we play Napoli and there is a slight possibility that Nico will play. This could be the final tweet of the thread, thank you to everyone for all the support. From @ASRomaEN following me to all the likes and retweets. Our Nico could be back #ForzaNico
#ForzaNico
This marks the end of the thread. Thank you to @GrazieTotti91 for giving me the idea to start this after seeing him do it for Florenzi. Nico returned today for @ASRomaEN and I couldn’t be any happier I’ve been thinking about this moment for 175 days, HE IS BACK.
I’ve been thinking about this moment for 175 days, HE IS BACK.
