Paulo Dybala looked distressed on the Roma bench after suffering an injury during a Serie A match against Cagliari.

The Argentinean was not fully fit, so he was introduced as a substitute in the second half, but he only remained on the pitch for ten minutes.

La Joya tried a backheel pass but collapsed to the ground, requesting medical treatment.

He was immediately subbed off and was seen fighting back the tears on the bench.

Claudio Ranieri provided an injury update after the final whistle, ruling out a knee injury but admitting the Argentinean would need medical tests on Monday.

Tre punti sofferti, sporchi, FONDAMENTALI.

Sesta vittoria di fila e tredicesimo risultato utile in Campionato. Numeri fantastici in Serie A.

In tutto questo però c’è una cosa negativa: l’infortunio di Dybala e le sue lacrime.

Speriamo non sia nulla di grave.

FORZA ROMA.
