Meniscus injury sidelines Argentine

Dybala suffered a tear in his lateral meniscus after feeling pain during a training session. Initially, the issue was treated as muscle fatigue, but more detailed exams confirmed the severity of the injury and led to surgical intervention.

Out of important matches this season

With the estimated recovery time, the number 21 is expected to miss seven Serie A matches, in addition to the Europa League round of 16 clash, a domestic duel against Bologna.
