Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku or Andrea Belotti. This is the offensive power of AS Roma, , which competes in the domestic league and European cups. José Mourinho, however, will not be able to count on the Argentine footballer who injured his knee.

After seven years at Juventus, Paulo Dybala was looking for a new engagement last summer. José Mourinho offered him a helping hand at AS Roma.

Dybala rewarded him with 18 goals and 7 assists. So far in the new season, he has scored three times and added two assists. But the weekend’s game against Cagliari did not go well for him.

The Argentine footballer had to leave the field in the 40th minute as he suffered a knee injury. An examination showed that he will miss about a month.

As a result, he is certain to miss the match against Slavia Prague at the Olympic Stadium in Rome on Thursday 26 October. The return leg in Eden is exactly one month from today, so the question is whether Dybala will be ready.

Dybala was replaced in the attacking pairing with Lukaku by Belotti, who also started in the starting lineup against Servette on Thursday and made it into the Player of the Round nomination thanks to his two goals. However, he was beaten by Slavic player Mojmir Chytil, who added an assist to his two goals.

AS Rome’s roster is quite large. Tammy Abraham has been missing since the beginning of the season, Renato Sanches, Chris Smalling, Diego Llorente and also Lorenzo Pellegrini are also on the sick list.
