Roma make final Dybala decision for Cagliari clash | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini will have to do without another one of his star attackers in Paulo Dybala for Monday evening’s Serie A clash at home against Cagliari, the latest updates confirm.

Dybala ruled out of Roma vs. Cagliari

La Joya has not featured in either of Roma’s last two matches due to a minor issue, which is expected to keep him out of Monday night’s league fixture against Cagliari as well, according to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio, Sky Sport Italia and others.

The Argentina international had been training individually in the days leading up to the Cagliari clash.

Sunday’s reports claim that Roma have taken the decision not to risk the 32-year-old against Cagliari on precautionary grounds.

As has been the case over the last two matches, Matias Soule and Lorenzo Pellegrini are in line to start in Dybala’s absence.

Dybala adds to a considerable injury list at the Stadio Olimpico: Gasperini is also expected to be without Manu Kone, Robinio Vaz, Artem Dovbyk, Stephan El Shaarawy and potentially Mario Hermoso and Evan Ferguson as well.
