Bad News for Roma: Dybala Out for the Rest of the Season

AS Roma has confirmed that Paulo Dybala will undergo surgery, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2024/25 season. The Argentine forward suffered a tendon injury during Roma's 1-0 victory over Cagliari, and after initial assessments suggested a recovery period of a few weeks to a month, the club's medical team has now determined that surgery is unavoidable.

This decision means that Dybala, one of Roma's most influential players, will not feature again this season. The 30-year-old has been a key figure for the Giallorossi, contributing 8 goals and 4 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions. His creativity and attacking flair have been central to manager Claudio Ranieri's tactics, making his absence a significant blow.

Roma, currently sitting in 7th place, are in the midst of a fierce battle to secure a top-four finish and qualify for European competition. Losing Dybala at such a crucial stage of the season is a major setback, and the team will need to find a way to compensate for his absence.
