Forward Paulo Dybala could miss Roma’s Europa League final against Sevilla, his coach Jose Mourinho said on Thursday. The 29-year-old Argentine, who has scored 16 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions this season, is yet to regain form after suffering an ankle injury late last month.
“I don’t think he can play. Honestly, I hope he can be on the bench. It’s the last game of the season, although we have La Spezia (in Serie A) next,” Mourinho told reporters ahead of next Wednesday’s final in Budapest. “But for Paulo it would be the last game. I would be happy if Paulo could go on the bench and play 15 or 20 minutes. he concluded.
Roma travel to Florence to play Fiorentina in Serie A on Saturday before facing the Spanish side in the Europa League final, where they will seek to lift their second straight continental title after winning the Europa League Conference last season.
