Not good news arrives in the Roma household. Paulo Dybala, who was injured after kicking and missing the penalty that would have given the Giallorossi the lead in Sunday night’s match against AC Milan, underwent instrumental examinations that showed a medium-degree injury of the left hamstring.

The Joya, who has already started therapy, will have to sit out at least three weeks but is likely to be back available to coach Gian Piero Gasperini in a month. The goal is to recover him for the big match with Napoli scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 30, at the Stadio Olimpico but at the moment the Argentine&#8217s presence with the Italian champions is in high doubt.

Dybala will definitely miss the Capitolini&#8217s next four matches: two in the Europa League (Thursday, Nov. 6 against Glasgow Rangers away and Thursday, Nov. 27 against Midtjylland at home) and two in Serie A (Sunday, Nov. 9 with Udinese at the Olimpico and Sunday, Nov. 23 with Cremonese at Zini).

The Argentine fantasist&#8217s absence could represent an opportunity to relaunch Dovbyk, who has so far started only twice in the league where he has scored two goals in ten appearances collected.
