Paulo Dybala was expected to start Monday against Salernitana to begin ramping up for the May 31st Europa League final against Sevilla. Instead, he was a late scratch and watched the game from the stands. He continues to nurse an ankle sprain.
José Mourinho offered grim remarks about La Joya’s health after the contest (via SportMediaset).
“He’s hurting, and I’m not optimistic.”
Director Tiago Pinto was more positive beforehand to DAZN.
“He’s recovering from the blow he suffered against Atalanta. Our goal is to have him fit for the Europa League final. He wasn’t feeling 100 percent, and we decided he wouldn’t play,”
The Argentine has been tending to the problem for about a month. He has featured just twice in the last seven matches. He’s in doubt also for Saturday’s game versus Fiorentina, which should serve as a tune-up if he were to start against Sevilla, Sky informs.
Our Take on Dybala
His signing was still a success considering how he fared when healthy and how they embraced him, especially because they got him at discounted wages. On the other hand, the recent events prove that Juventus’ reservations about covering him in gold were well-justified, even though his exit should have been handled with a little more touch.
