Summary: Rome - Real Betis 2:1 (Sport1)

If the fears regarding Paulo Dybala's injury turn out to be true, Roma's Argentinian striker is in for particularly painful news.

The 28-year-old star was injured last night (Sunday) during a penalty kick from 11 meters which he converted into a goal for Roma, and after being replaced immediately following the same incident, his coach Jose Mourinho provided a particularly worrying prediction: the striker is expected to miss the World Cup in Qatar.

Dybala felt a sharp pain immediately after the kick that he sent in, as mentioned, and was seen in tears when he sat down on the bench.

When asked about him at the end of the game, Mourinho said: "I would say it's bad, not to say very, very bad. Unfortunately, it's more than bad. I'm not a doctor and I haven't talked to one yet, but in my experience, from what I understood when I talked to Paolo, it's hard to see him coming back before 2023".

A very worrying forecast.

The striker will wait for the results of the test to know how long he will be forced to be absent from the pitches, but in any case it can already be said that this is a terrible misfortune for him, since the injury came precisely when he is on a streak of five games in all formats in which he scored a goal.

The World Cup will open in less than a month and a half, as we know, so Dybala does not have much time left to recover, if he will be able to do so at all to be included in the Argentina national team for the tournament.

Already last week he asked for a substitute during the match against Inter, and also in the round that took place before the national team break, about three weeks ago, he was absent against Atalanta because he injured a muscle in the warm-up for the match.
