Gian Piero Gasperini has confirmed that Roma stars Paulo Dybala and summer signing Leon Bailey are likely to be out of action until the October international break as their ongoing injury issues continue.
“We’ll see them after the international break. Before, I don’t think so,” Gasperini told reporters on Tuesday evening.

Dybala picked up a low-grade muscle strain in his thigh during his first Serie A start of the season, which ended in a 1-0 defeat against Torino earlier this month.
Gasperini initially claimed that La Joya ‘has a little problem’, but that problem is proving to be a little more severe than first thought. As things stand, Dybala is training individually on a separate pitch to the rest of the Giallorossi squad, and could now miss Roma’s upcoming matches against Nice, Hellas Verona, Lille and Fiorentina.
