Gian Piero Gasperini 's Roma are hoping to recover Paulo Dybala ahead of their crucial Champions League match against Manchester United . After their convincing 5-2 victory at Udinese , the Giallorossi are focusing on the trip to England, where the Argentine star could also return. The Roma number 21 is working to overcome the physical problems that forced him out, aiming to be available for the Old Trafford clash.
Gian Piero Gasperini himself kept hopes alive, noting that after the win against the Friulian side, he didn't completely rule out the possibility of Dybala being called up for the European match : "It's very difficult, but I'm hopeful. In theory, all three of the injured players could recover, but it's possible none of them will be back. We'll see what happens this week; it'll be the decisive one."
Roma, Dybala can return to the Champions League: the latest on his condition.
According to Il Giornale , Dybala could be able to recover in time for the away match against Manchester United . This possibility fuels optimism among the Giallorossi, although further physical assessments will determine whether the striker will actually be fit to play.
Meanwhile, Gasperini is enjoying Soulé's extraordinary moment. The left-footed striker from Mar del Plata isn't making anyone miss Dybala in the slightest , and yesterday, in the thrilling five-goal win against Udinese , he also delivered an excellent performance, adding two assists.
If he's not "in shape," he can easily sit on the bench: the team functions just fine without him. Especially since I controversially bet my friend Fabio Bugli over dinner that Dybala wouldn't play more than 15 games this season (excluding cup competitions)... (I know Tuesday won't count towards the bet... 😬)! 🤌😇🧡❤️
