Dybala Diagnosed With Medium-Grade Thigh Lesion, Out About One Month

A five-match absence forces Gasperini to rework Roma's front line.

Overview

  • Scans confirmed a medium-grade injury to Dybala’s left biceps femoris, with therapy underway and an expected recovery of roughly four weeks.
  • Dybala is set to miss Rangers, Udinese, Cremonese and Midtjylland and likely Napoli, with a targeted return on December 7 at Cagliari after an initial hope for November 30 versus Napoli.
  • The setback occurred on his penalty at San Siro and aligns with the recent pattern of thigh problems that sidelined him in mid-September.
  • Gasperini is considering a larger role for Dovbyk, a move influenced by Ferguson’s concurrent absence through the international break.
  • Roma’s finishing woes persist at 6.9% conversion (17th in Serie A), and this marks the 20th injury of Dybala’s Roma stint, complicating mounting contract questions.
