After 160 days: Dybala returns as Roma claim victory | OneFootball

Roma started the new Serie A season with a 1-0 victory over Bologna and, in addition to the triumph, the good news for the capital team was the return of Paulo Dybala.

Half an hour into the game at the Olympic Stadium, the Jewel replaced Matías Soulé and thus returned to official play after 160 days. The crowd greeted him with a tremendous ovation.

Dybala had last played on March 16 in the victory over Cagliari, when an injury to his left semitendinosus tendon forced him to undergo surgery and miss the end of last season.

The Cordoban had played a couple of preseason friendlies and had scored a couple of goals in the 14-0 victory over Trastevere.

The return of the Jewel not only represented good news for Gian Piero Gasperi, coach of the Roman team, but also for Lionel Scaloni, who did not include him in the list for the Qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador due to lack of rhythm.
