Roma forward Paulo Dybala is pushing to be fit for his team’s Serie A match against Inter Milan.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They also report that Stephan El Shaarawy will miss out with a calf strain.
Dybala is certainly a key player for Roma.
The Argentine has been a major source of goals, assists, and creativity in the final third for the Giallorossi since joining on a free transfer from Juventus in the summer of 2022.
However, injuries have also been an unfortunate theme of Dybala’s time in the capital.
That had been the case for much of the time that Dybala had been at Juventus. And it has certainly been true of his stint at the Stadio Olimpico.
Dybala has not suffered any particularly major injuries.
However, muscle injuries here and there have tended to rule the former Palermo man out of action for spells.
Paulo Dybala Pushing To Be Fit Vs Inter – El Shaarawy To Miss Out
Dybala was not able to play any part in his team’s Serie A match away to Monza today.
The 30-year-old had been hoping to recover from his most recent setback in time for the match.
However, the injury proved to be significant enough to rule Dybala out.
Dybala was not even part of the Giallorossi squad for the team’s Serie A clash with Venezia.
Then, on Thursday Dybala was on the bench for his team’s Europa League match against Elfsborg. However, he did not appear during that match.
Dybala was once again absent against Monza last weekend.
However, the Argentine has been aiming to return to fitness over the international break.
According to the Corriere, Dybala will look to try and return to training at the start of next week.
Therefore, the 30-year-old is hoping that he can be ready for the match against Inter after the international break.
On the other hand, the Corriere reports, Stephan El Shaarawy will not be able to be part of the match against Inter.
The Italian international picked up a calf strain against Monza. He’ll be absent for a few weeks.
