AS Roma's leader Paulo Dybala has suffered an injury, which will cause him to miss the upcoming matches for the Argentina national team. Initially, it was estimated that he would return in a few weeks. However, it seems that the injury is more serious than expected.
Details. In an interview with Corriere dello Sport, orthopedic surgeon Simone Ripanti shared some insights about the injury to Dybala's left thigh tendon.
According to the specialist, Dybala has a rare injury, and the Argentine's recovery will certainly take more than a month.
Quote. "This will certainly not be a quick recovery. Tendon injuries, to the same extent, are more serious than muscle injuries because the tissues regenerate more slowly.
I do not know if he will require surgery. In any case, even if conservative therapy is chosen, a one-month prognosis seems too optimistic to me. Patience is needed. Dybala is also unlucky because injuries of this type are very rare," said the orthopedic surgeon.
Reminder. This season, Dybala has scored 8 goals and provided 4 assists in 36 matches for Roma across all competitions.
