The situation doesn’t look too promising for Paulo Dybala, with the Juventus superstar set to miss more games than previously anticipated due to his ongoing injury crisis. On Sunday, the Bianconeri carried out another narrow 1-0 victory over AS Roma.

The resistance imposed by Massimiliano Allegri outwitted Jose Mourinho’s plans to re-run the success he had when the Portuguese tactician last visited Turin as the manager of Manchester United.

Allegri accomplished the mighty job of defeating a well-oiled Roma machine without the valuable services of one of their most reliable outlets in Paulo Dybala. Juventus’ creator-in-chief suffered an ill-fated injury in their 3-2 Serie A win over Sampdoria. In the same match, Alvaro Morata also sustained an injury. And both players were thought to be fit again after the international break.

Although Morata made his return to action as a second-half substitute in the game against the Giallorossi, La Joya spent the night watching the proceedings from the bench. According to the latest from La Gazzetta dello Sport (via @JuveFC), Dybala’s recovery will take more time than previously anticipated.

The report has suggested that the diminutive Argentine is thus likely to miss the games against FC Zenit, Inter Milan, and perhaps even Sassuolo.

Juventus handed a Paulo Dybala injury blow

Since the start of the season, Paulo Dybala, per the stats from Transfermarkt, has played six games across all competitions, logging three goals and two assists in the process. Following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer transfer window, Dybala was considered the next talisman for Juventus.

However, the thigh injury has kept him out of action since late September. If not anything else, his absence has reduced the overall creativity for the Old Lady. With his crafty left-foot available, Juventus could enjoy more sharpness in the attacking half.

That being said, the Bianconeri have begun a hectic run of troublesome fixtures with a victory over Roma. Now, they will be playing games against Inter, Sassuolo, Hellas Verona, Fiorentina, Lazio, and Atalanta in sequence, let alone two crucial Champions League ties against Zenit.

If everything goes as said, Allegri could expect to see a start from Dybala in the league game against Hellas Verona.
