Roma dealt Dybala blow: muscle injury rules him out for at least two weeks | OneFootball

Bad news for Roma and Paulo Dybala. The Argentine playmaker will be forced to stop for at least a couple of weeks due to the injury suffered in the 0-1 defeat against Torino at the Olimpico. "La Joya" had left the field at half-time, visibly worried, and the instrumental examinations carried out in the last few hours have confirmed the fears: it is a low-grade injury to the left thigh.

La Joya in the pits: Roma loses its technical leader until early October

Not a serious problem, but enough to prevent him from playing in the upcoming crucial matches. According to what was reported by the yellow-red doctors, the estimated recovery times should not exceed two weeks, although much will depend on the evolution in the coming days. The goal of the staff is clear: to have Dybala available by early October, perhaps already for the return of the European competitions.

The absence of the Argentine represents a heavy blow for Roma. Dybala is the technical leader of the team, capable with his plays of changing the inertia of a match and raising the overall level of the offensive maneuver. Without him, Gasperini will have to rely on alternative solutions: Soulé and El Aynaoui are the main candidates to take over the trequartista role, while the use of Baldanzi in a more central role is not excluded. The loss of the former Juventus player comes at a delicate time, with Roma called to face a series of close matches between the league and Europe. Fans hope that recovery can occur quickly, but in the meantime the team will be forced to do without its technical lighthouse.
