Paulo Dybala knocked out: emergency in attack for Daniele De Rossi

Bad news for Roma and Daniele De Rossi on the eve of the league match against Sassuolo. After the hip problem reported by Romelu Lukaku, the Giallorossi coach also loses Paulo Dybala, who suffered a muscle discomfort in the last training session and therefore will not be available for the game against the Emiliani.

According to reports from "Sky Sport", instrumental examinations to which the Argentine footballer è underwent showed a slight muscle injury to the adductor of the right thigh. The former Juventus center forward is expected to remain in the pits for about 15 days, thus skipping not only the league match against the Emiliani but also commitments with the Argentine national team.

De Rossi’s hope would be to recover the player for the match against Lecce when Serie A resumes or at the latest in the derby with Lazio on April 7. Ahead of the match against the neroverdi, however, the Giallorossi coach is expected to replace the Argentine with Baldanzi.

For Sassuolo, in addition, Romelu Lukaku, who suffered a hip inflammation that also forced him to miss the Europa League round of 16 return match against Brighton, would also still be in doubt. In case of the Belgian’s precautionary absence, it will be Azmoun’s turn to lead Roma’s attack.
