Paulo Dybala has reportedly been caught off guard by his exclusion from AS Roma’s upcoming match against Bologna. Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Argentine forward was apparently unaware of his omission until coach Ivan Juric publicly announced it during a pre-match press conference.
According to sources close to the player, Dybala believed he was fit and ready to participate not only in the Bologna game but also in the midweek European fixture in Belgium. The player and his team were expecting to conduct a fitness test during today’s training session, following a negative MRI scan performed yesterday.
The sudden announcement of his exclusion has left Dybala seeking clarification from the club. He was under the impression that a final decision on his availability would be made after today’s training, making Juric’s public statement unexpected.
This situation has created a sense of confusion and potential tension between the player and the club’s management. Dybala is now reportedly awaiting an explanation from Roma regarding the decision-making process and the communication surrounding his exclusion.
