Jose Mourinho has admitted that it is unlikely that Paulo Dybala will be able to play for Roma again in this calendar year.
Dybala was struck by a freak injury during Roma's win over Lecce on Sunday. As he scored the winning penalty, the Argentine appeared to pull up with a muscle problem, forcing him to be substituted immediately.
Physios were seen putting ice on his thigh as he looked to be in discomfort, even after being taken off by Mourinho. While Roma were able to hold on for the win, they may have to do without their star man until after this winter's World Cup in Qatar.
