Overview
- Arthroscopic surgery performed by Pier Paolo Mariani confirmed a tear in the lateral/external meniscus of Dybala’s left knee.
- The operating surgeon cited an orthopedic recovery window of roughly 45 days, with the precise return to be set by Roma’s medical and coaching staff.
- Dybala will miss the Europa League round of 16 tie against Bologna and several Serie A matches after a setback in training this week.
- He had not played since late January, returning only as an unused substitute against Juventus on March 1 before the latest discomfort prompted surgery.
- The layoff is expected to rule him out of the late-March Finalissima if it goes ahead, while his June 30 contract expiry has prompted reported interest from Boca Juniors.
