Subs in late versus Bologna Dybala (knee) drew one foul and completed three passes in 13 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Bologna.

Impact Dybala was eased into action after missing about three months because of a knee injury. His role will gradually improve over the next couple of games, especially with Lorenzo Pellegrini (thigh) on the mend, but the coach can go in a few different directions. He ended a nine-game streak with at least one key pass due to his scarce playing time in this one. He has posted three goals and three assists in 24 appearances (14 starts) so far.

Will be out longer than expected Dybala was found to have a partially torn meniscus, which was removed, and will be unavailable for at least 45 days, La Repubblica informed.

Impact Dybala was revealed to be dealing with something more serious than soreness and loose bodies in the joint upon undergoing surgery, prolonging his timetable. He might return for the last stretch of the season if the rehab went according to plan. Niccolo Pisilli, Bryan Zaragoza and Lorenzo Venturino will hold down the fort until Matias Soule (groin) returns.

Experiences setback Dybala decided to undergo a clean-up surgery after his knee flared up again in training, Il Tempo reported.

Impact Dybala returned to the bench last week after missing a few matches, but he felt some pain as he was preparing to play versus Genoa, and he and the team opted for the surgical route, which was initially discarded about a month ago. He's tentatively expected to be sidelined at least until the late March international break, but his timetable depends on the extent of the damage found during the operation. With Matias Soule (groin) also out of commission, Niccolo Pisilli, Bryan Zaragoza and Lorenzo Venturino will pick up the slack.

DNP in Juventus bout Dybala (knee) didn't sub in during Sunday's 3-3 draw with Juventus.

Impact Dybala was an option after skipping four contests, but the coach started with a coy lineup with Bryan Cristante as a no.10 and stuck with it while managing a lead in the second half. Dybala will be in contention to start once he's closer to 100, especially with Matias Soule currently nursing a sports hernia and Bryan Zaragoza not having been convincing since joining in January.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option Dybala (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Juventus.

Impact Dybala was likely to be an option Sunday and has passed some testing to make the team sheet, recovering from a knee injury. He will likely work back into starting time after testing his legs, with four goal contributions this campaign in 17 league appearances (12 starts).

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Juventus clash Dybala (knee) has logged a pair of full sessions and is likely to return versus Juventus, Mediaset reported.

Impact Dybala appears to have overcome a knee injury that cost him four matches and will rejoin Lorenzo Pellegrini, Bryan Zaragoza and Lorenzo Venturino among the options in two spots behind the striker, while Matias Soule (groin) will miss another one. Dybala has created at least one scoring chance in his last nine appearances, racking up 26 key passes and adding 20 shots (six on target) and 31 crosses (four accurate) and scoring once and assisting twice over that span.

Unavailable versus Cremonese Dybala (knee) "is doing his best to recuperate but isn't ready for Sunday," coach Gian Piero Gasperini relayed.

Impact Dybala took some tests earlier in the week, but they didn't reveal ulterior damage besides a lingering inflammation, and he won't need surgery for now. He'll sit out the fourth fixture in a row Sunday, leading to more minutes for Lorenzo Pellegrini, Bryan Zaragoza, Lorenzo Venturino and Robinio Vaz. Matias Soule (groin) is absent as well.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Goes backward in recovery Dybala experienced some discomfort in the final training session of the week and might remain sidelined for Sunday's bout versus Napoli, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Dybala seemed to have overcome some knee soreness that forced him to miss the last two fixtures, but it flared up again late in the week. Matias Soule (groin) isn't in great shape either, so Bryan Zaragoza or Bryan Cristante could slot next to Lorenzo Pellegrini behind Donyell Malen from the get-go.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Will return versus Napoli Dybala has participated in multiple training sessions and will be an option versus Napoli on Sunday, Il Messaggero reported.

Impact Dybala had an outside chance to be back last week but was given more time and didn't experience any setback. He could start over either Lorenzo Pellegrini or Matias Soule if he looked good enough and the coach opted for an aggressive formation.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids severe issues Dybala has been diagnosed with a slight lateral capsule inflammation in his knee, Il Tempo reported.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee injury Dybala "is set for tests to assess a knee problem. It doesn't look too bad, but we're not optimistic for the upcoming Udinese match," coach Gian Piero Gasperini stated.

Impact Dybala was technically available against Panathinaikos but wasn't fielded to avoid aggravating what's tentatively believed to be a bruise, but only the exams will clarify the situation. The staff could be cautious regardless, considering that Roma recently acquired two new attackers, Donyell Malen and Robinio Vaz, giving them more options at the position.

Strong offensive effort Dybala generated four shots (two on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Sassuolo.

Impact Dybala didn't score or assist but his effort was noteworthy as he pressed Sassuolo's defense all match. The forward's efforts are more likely to be rewarded if he keeps this up against Torino, a team which has let in 32 goals in domestic play this season.
