In a surprising move, AS Roma has left star forward Paulo Dybala out of their squad for the upcoming away clash against Empoli. The decision has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike, with many speculating about the cause behind his absence.
Roma head coach José Mourinho revealed the reasoning behind the exclusion, confirming that the Argentine forward is being rested due to fitness concerns. Dybala, who has been one of Roma’s standout performers this season, is recovering from a minor injury and the club wants to avoid pushing him too hard, given the importance of upcoming fixtures.
The 30-year-old has been instrumental in Roma’s offensive line, scoring crucial goals and providing creative plays. However, with a packed schedule ahead, the team’s medical staff and Mourinho have opted for caution, prioritizing Dybala’s long-term health and ensuring he is fully fit for more demanding matches in the coming weeks.
Dybala’s absence from the match against Empoli will undoubtedly be a blow to Roma, as they aim to continue their strong form in Serie A. Despite this, Mourinho has full confidence in his squad’s depth and believes that other players can step up in Dybala’s absence.
Roma supporters will be hoping to see their star forward return to action soon, but for now, the club is focused on ensuring his recovery is handled with care. The Empoli match will take place at the Stadio Carlo Castellani, where Roma will look to secure another important three points as they continue their push for a top spot in the league.
With Dybala sidelined temporarily, all eyes will be on Roma’s attack to see how they adjust without their key playmaker.
