Amidst concerns over Paulo Dybala’s fitness following his substitution in the match against Fiorentina, Roma fans can now breathe a sigh of relief. The Argentine forward’s departure from the pitch during Roma’s 2-2 draw with :a Viola was merely a precautionary measure due to slight muscle fatigue in the adductor, as confirmed by coach De Rossi in a press conference.
Calciomercaro report that despite initial worries, today’s medical checks have provided reassuring results, indicating no significant issues for Dybala. According to reports from Trigoria, the Argentine forward participated in light training with the rest of the team and is expected to be fit for Thursday’s Europa League clash against Brighton. However, considering Roma’s comfortable lead from the first leg, he may start on the bench.
Dybala has been a pivotal figure under De Rossi’s management, contributing 8 goals and 2 assists across league and cup competitions in the first two months of his tenure. Even in the recent match against Fiorentina, Dybala played a crucial role in initiating the action that led to Aouar’s goal, despite a relatively subdued performance overall.
Looking ahead, Dybala’s future at Roma remains uncertain, although there appears to be a mutual desire to continue their association. Key to this will be the role of the next sporting director, tasked with negotiating an updated contract for Dybala and potentially removing the €13 million release clause applicable to foreign clubs. Currently earning just over €4 million, Dybala has attracted interest from clubs like Barcelona and entities in Saudi Arabia.
