Paulo Dybala Likely To Start On The Bench Against Lazio

According to reports in Italy, Paulo Dybala hasn’t fully recovered from a calf injury and is likely to start on the bench against Lazio tomorrow.

The Bianconeri return to the pitch on Saturday at 17.00 UK time, visiting the Biancocelesti at the Stadio Olimpico.

While Maurizio Sarri must cope without Ciro Immobile, Massimiliano Allegri could be forced to start Paulo Dybala on the bench.

The Argentinean returned from international duty on Wednesday with a slight calf injury.

However, the medical examinations he underwent on Thursday have ruled out muscle injuries, Juventus confirmed.

Dybala has been diagnosed with ‘fatigue in the posterior tibial muscle’ and ‘his conditions will be monitored daily.’

La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere dello Sport report the Argentinean striker could start on the bench against Lazio as the Bianconeri boss Massimiliano Allegri doesn’t want to take any risk and needs to count on a fit Dybala for the upcoming matches.
