Dybala fights to help Roma against Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

Paulo Dybala is carefully managing his fitness as he fights to join Roma for their decisive Europa League semi-final clash with high-flying Bayer Leverkusen.

The Giallorossi were unable to hand Xabi Alonso’s side their first defeat of the season in the first leg of their European semi-final last week, suffering a tough 2-0 loss at the Stadio Olimpico, leaving them with a mountain to climb in the second leg.

Roma had another tough outing when returning to Serie A, being held to a 1-1 draw by a wounded Juventus on Sunday. Dybala only had a limited impact, being forced off at half time due to adductor discomfort, prompting fears regarding his fitness ahead of the return clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

Calciomercato.com highlights how Dybala underwent a round of medical tests with Roma today, which confirmed the lack of an adductor injury, allowing coach Daniele De Rossi to breathe a sigh of relief ahead of the decisive clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

The next few days will be decisive for the Argentine star as he works to be fit for the Europa League semi-final second leg, scheduled for May 9.
