Roma & Argentina Talisman Facing Race Against Time To Face Inter Milan | OneFootball

Roma headline forward Paulo Dybala reportedly faces a race against time to make himself available for the upcoming Serie A clash against Inter Milan.

According to Tuttosport, as reported by FCInterNews, the Argentine superstar will take advantage of the international break to regain full fitness.

Roma will host Inter for a mouth-watering encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on October 20.

After losing three consecutive league games against the reigning Scudetto holders, they need all hands on deck to navigate this challenge.

Dybala is a vital piece of Ivan Juric’s jigsaw.

Therefore, there’s a sense of trepidation in the capital as the 30-year-old bids to recover in time.

Indeed, the former Juventus forward succumbed to an injury during Roma’s UEFA Europa League fixture against Athletic Bilbao.

A problem with his left flexor ruled him out of last Sunday’s trip to Monza, with Roma drawing 1-1 at the Stadio Brianteo.

However, there’s growing optimism around the Giallorossi camp that Dybala will be in the starting XI against Inter.

Roma Star Paulo Dybala Faces Race Against Time to Meet Inter Milan

Dybala has experienced another injury-hit start to the season.

Notoriously prone to injuries, he’s been terminally unable to stay away from the treatment room since joining Roma in 2022.

He has only made three Serie A starts this term, scoring once from the spot.

But his potential absence would be a massive blow for Juric’s rejuvenated team.

After a four-game winless league opening under Daniele De Rossi, Roma have bounced back under the ex-Torino boss.

Indeed, they’ve amassed seven points from their three top-flight outings since the Croatian tactician’s appointment.

Roma’s resurgence makes for good reading ahead of this showdown.

However, Inter are firing on all cylinders and should outgun the Giallorossi even with Dybala in the starting line-up.

Much will likely depend on Marcus Thuram, who has joined the France national team despite a minor injury concern.
