Paulo Dybala Out for Season Following Thigh Surgery Decision

AS Roma's push for a Champions League spot faces a challenge as the Argentine forward undergoes surgery for a left thigh injury sustained in Sunday's Serie A match.

Paulo Dybala will undergo surgery on his left semitendinosus tendon, ruling him out for the rest of the 2024-25 season.
The injury occurred during Roma's 1-0 victory over Cagliari on March 16, 2025, and was confirmed by the club in an official statement.
Dybala's absence is a major blow to Roma, who are four points behind fourth-placed Bologna with nine Serie A matches remaining.
Under Claudio Ranieri, Roma has been revitalized with a 13-match unbeaten streak and six consecutive league wins, climbing to seventh place.
Dybala, who has struggled with injuries in recent years, has scored six goals in 24 appearances this season but will also miss Argentina's World Cup qualifiers.
