Soccer: Roma’s Dybala Out for 3 Weeks with Thigh Injury

Rome: AS Roma’s Argentina forward is set to be on the sidelines for around three weeks after tests on Monday showed he injured the semitendinosus tendon of his left thigh during his side’s 1-0 home win over Cagliari on Sunday. The incident occurred when the 31-year-old was brought on as a second-half substitute but had to leave the pitch just 13 minutes later.

According to Ansa News Agency, Dybala has played a crucial role in Roma’s recent performances, contributing significantly to their ascent in the Serie A standings. Since Claudio Ranieri returned from retirement to take over as coach in November, the team has climbed to seventh place, a notable improvement from their previous position just above the relegation zone.

The injury comes as a setback for Roma, who have relied on Dybala’s experience and skill during their campaign. His absence will be felt as the team continues to push for a higher position in the league standings. Fans and teammates hope for his swift recovery and return to the field.
