AS Roma forward Paulo Dybala will potentially miss the rest of the season after the Serie A club said on Thursday that the 31-year-old would undergo surgery on his thigh. Dybala has eight goals and four assists in all competitions this season and last played in a 1-0 win against Cagliari last weekend.

Roma’s attempt at returning to the Champions League has taken a hit after the announcement that Paulo Dybala will undergo left thigh surgery.

AS Roma's Argentina forward is set to be on the sidelines for around three weeks after tests on Monday showed he injured the semitendinosus tendon of his left thigh during his side's 1-0 home win over Cagliari on Sunday.
