Gasperini\u2019s main concern upon returning from the Maradona away match against Napoli will be Paulo Dybala\u2019s condition, which continues to be a concern. <\/p>\n
Despite returning to training with the group on Wednesday, the player experienced renewed knee discomfort on Saturday, the eve of the match against the Azzurri. <\/p>\n
Dybala rested and completed exercises in the gym throughout yesterday, but he will return to the pitch today with a trainer to test his pain threshold and determine whether he can rejoin the group or whether he will need to continue with a personalized program. <\/p>\n
The hope is that he will be ready for next Sunday\u2019s match against Cremonese.<\/p>\n
Dybala\u2019s season, writes Il Corriere dello Sport, has been marked by numerous setbacks: this is the third injury of the 2025-26 season, which has already seen him deal with two muscle tears and now with knee inflammation. <\/p>\n
His contract is also approaching its expiration date, with rumors of a possible departure becoming increasingly insistent. Meanwhile, the striker will become a father in early March. <\/p>\n
With yesterday\u2019s injury, Dybala missed his eleventh game of the season, increasing concerns about his availability for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gasperini\u2019s main concern upon returning from the Maradona away match against Napoli will be Paulo Dybala\u2019s condition, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[49,48,407,84],"class_list":["post-478380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fitness","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
