After his side lost to Lazio 0–1, Jose Mourinho, the coach of the Italian squad, expressed his regret for the absence of Argentine Paulo Dybala, but he also stated his optimism that the international player may return to play in games before the start of the World Cup tournaments.
In order to help the Lazio team, coached by Maurizio Sari, secure a resounding victory over their archrival on Sunday and move Lazio up to third place in the Italian League, Philip Anderson took advantage of Roger Ebans.
While Lazio missed the efforts of the duo Sergey Milinkovic Savic and Shero Imobili at the Olympic Stadium, Roma was only able to shoot only two balls on the goal, as the team suffered from the absence of Dybala, the team’s top scorer with five goals in the league this season.
At the post-game press conference, Mourinho stated, “We talked about Milinkovic Savic and Imobili, we did not talk about Dybala.”
“I believe it is more significant, since it is the one who passes the crucial passes to score goals,” he continued. We have issues when certain players are not there.
” Dybala has been absent from Rome since last October after he was injured in the knee strings, but Mourinho hoped that the player will return in the next Turin match scheduled for next Sunday, which will be in support of the Argentine national team before his trip to Qatar. “Frankly, Dybala wants to go to the World Cup, it is difficult to say no for this. We hope that he will be able to play against Turin next Sunday if his injury improves.
Following the loss of the derby, Mourinho laments the lack of Dybala.
