Roma handed massive Paulo Dybala injury boost by Argentina manager

Ahead of Romaโ€˜s Serie A fixture against Atalanta, Paulo Dybala hurt the flexor muscle in his left leg. Jose Mourinho had to drop the plan of playing him in the match.

But despite carrying a knock, La Joya, thanks to his determination to play for his national side, ended up joining Argentina for their friendlies against Honduras and Jamaica.

On Saturday, Argentina played Honduras and beat them with a 3-0 scoreline. But the teamsheet did not feature the former Juventus man.

In the post-match press conference, Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni informed the media of Dybalaโ€™s situation as he said (as quoted by Pazzi Di Fanta):

โ€œI decided not to risk Paulo. He serves me on a much higher level, and it would be a shame to risk him. I think he will be available for the next match.โ€

If Scaloniโ€™s words are understood to be true, then Dybala should be fit for Argentinaโ€™s game against Jamaica. Inter host Roma in Serie A after the international break. La Joya should also be available for the game against the Nerazzurri unless the playerโ€™s injury worsens following the match on Wednesday.ย
