The club's medical team is also troubled by the injury situation surrounding two key players - Dybala and midfielder Manu Koné. Both athletes sustained injuries during the Champions League match against the Los Blancos.\n\nThe Giallorossi medical staff are closely monitoring the progress of both players. Dybala, who was substituted during halftime, appears to have suffered a muscle strain based on initial assessments. However, further tests are required to confirm the extent of his injury and determine a recovery plan. His potential return to action seems less of a concern at this point.\n\nManu Koné, on the other hand, is a more pressing worry for Roma. He also withdrew from the match against Real Madrid, this time with a sore throat. If he cannot recover within a few weeks, the French midfielder could be sidelined for an extended period.
