Dybala still in doubt for Juventus showdown | OneFootball

The Paulo Dybala issue is a hot topic around Trigoria.

The player won’t be back with the squad today either, and the question now is when he will be.

There’s currently no set date for his return.

He’ll undoubtedly miss the Cremonese match, but with each passing day, according to Il Corriere della Sera, his absence from the big match against Juventus becomes increasingly likely.

The paradox is that Gian Piero Gasperini, before training on the eve of Napoli-Roma, considered him eligible for the match.

The problem is that the Argentine still feels pain in his knee both when shooting and changing direction, and he’s unable to be at his best.

Dybala requires specific treatment to overcome this discomfort, which has been ongoing since January 25th. Dr. Ahlbaumer, the Friedkins’ trusted surgeon, reportedly recommended surgery to the Giallorossi medical staff to address the meniscal pain.

The surgery, however, had already been put on hold last month, and the decision was rescheduled last Wednesday.

A meeting is scheduled in 10-15 days to make a final decision: if the treatment is effective, the number 21 will be cleared to return to the field; otherwise, he will undergo surgery, remaining sidelined for at least a month.
