Argentinian football star Paulo Dybala (AS Roma) is worried about his participation in the World Cup. The goalscorer was injured while taking a penalty on Sunday and is even in danger of missing the World Cup in Qatar.
The Italian first division football club AS Roma is worried about its new midfielder Paulo Dybala – the Argentine could even face an end to the World Cup in Qatar. “I would say it looks bad, not to say very, very bad”Roma coach José Mourinho said on Sunday night about Dybala’s condition.
The 28-year-old had previously scored the winning goal to make it 2-1 in the game against newly promoted US Lecce. Tragic: Dybala was injured in the penalty shot, limped to the goal celebration and then had to be substituted. According to Italian media, Dybala injured his left thigh muscle. According to “Gazzetta dello Sport”, an investigation on Tuesday should bring clarity.
Coach Mourinho didn’t want to say if Dybala might not be back on the pitch until next year. “I’m not a doctor and I haven’t spoken to the doctor. But from experience, from what I understood talking to Paulo, it’s difficult,” said the 59-year-old Portuguese. The World Cup will take place in Qatar from November 20th to December 18th.
