AS Roma star suffers another big injury.

AS Roma have gotten off to one of their best starts in recent memory. Right now the Giallorossi sit tied for second place being only one point off first after ten games. While their team is nowhere near perfect, Gian Piero Gasperini has an inspired playing group ready to win big.

So far Roma have shined defensively this season conceding only five goals from ten games the lowest in Serie A. However, they haven’t been able to dominate the league despite of this losing three of their games already. This can be blamed to their poor goalscoring.

So far this season their attack has seen a lot of changes from week to week. This is mainly due to injury as Roma are struggling to stay healthy. Three forwards have suffered injuries already this season, with both Paulo Dybala and Leon Bailey being unavailable at the start of the season. This can be blamed to Gasperini high intensity pre seasons that aim to force players to get up to fitness quickly.

However, this method of preparation hasn’t been one hundred percent fool proff. New signing striker Evan Ferguson has also picked up an injury. This came on the 29th of October when he was forced off against Parma in only the seventh minute. He still hasn’t recovered and could miss another 15-20 days or more.

Now La Gazzetta Dello Sport reports that another Roma attacker has gone down due to injury. Paulo Dybala has gone down after his crucial penalty miss against AC Milan where he was subbed off. Gazzetta is reporting that the injury is serious and that Dybala could miss up to a month.

This means that he will definitely miss two Europa Leagues against Rangers and Midtjylland. He will also be out for Roma’s league games against Udinese and Cremonese. The club has now set the goal for Dybala to return when Roma play Napoli at the end of the month.

However, this would mean Dybala would have to be half a week early on the full recovery from his injury. This would likely put him at risk of reinjuring or making the effects of the injury worse. Even if he could feature in that game it would likely be a short stint as he wouldn’t be ready from kickoff.
