Injury Setback for Roma’s Star Forward
Paulo Dybala is set for a three-week spell on the sidelines after sustaining an injury in AS Roma’s 0:1 loss to AC Milan on Sunday, according to reports from Italian media. The forward, who began the match in the starting eleven, was unable to convert a series of chances and ultimately failed to score from the penalty spot late in the match. This miss was followed by his substitution, after which he was seen sitting on the bench in tears.

Medical examinations later revealed that Dybala had suffered an injury to the back of his left thigh during the penalty incident. His absence adds to Roma’s challenges as they look ahead to a series of crucial fixtures in the coming weeks.
Fixtures Dybala Will Miss
With Dybala unavailable, AS Roma are preparing to face Rangers, Udinese, and Cremonese without their influential attacker. This injury comes at a critical juncture in their campaign, and the team’s attacking responsibilities will need to be redistributed in his absence.
| Player | Injury | Estimated Recovery | Matches to Miss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paulo Dybala | Back of left thigh | Approximately three weeks | Rangers, Udinese, Cremonese |
AS Roma’s Attack Reorganised
In Dybala’s absence, the offensive onus is expected to fall on Artem Dovbyk. Dovbyk, who entered the match against AC Milan in the 77th minute, had minimal impact, registering just a single touch on the ball. Roma will be looking to see if he can step up during this period as they navigate a challenging fixture list.
