Roma talisman Paulo Dybala is reportedly in contention for the starting lineup for Saturday’s mouth-watering home clash against Inter Milan.

According to Sky Sport via FCInterNews, the 31-year-old could make only his second Serie A start this season after regaining full fitness.

Despite his well-documented brilliance, Paulo Dybala has struggled for regular first-team football this season.

Indeed, the Argentine forward has only amassed 137 minutes of top-flight action under new coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

However, much of the blame goes to his notorious proneness to injuries.

A hamstring injury sidelined Dybala from both Europa League fixtures this season.

Moreover, he came on as a second-half substitute in Roma’s 2-1 win at Fiorentina on the eve of the international break.

Yet, La Joya could make the starting lineup this weekend.

That’s not a certainty, considering Lorenzo Pellegrini and Stephan El Shaarawy are vying for the same spot.

Indeed, Matias Soule has a guaranteed starting berth in attack, leaving three players to battle it out for the remaining place.
