Italian media report that Paulo Dybala has undergone exploratory arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in Rome following a recent training setback. The development is being reported amid a spell out of the side that began with his last competitive appearance at the end of January.
Sequence of events and the reported procedure
Reports say Dybala missed four of five fixtures with inflammation in the lateral capsule of his left knee, was named on the bench against Juventus and did not play, then suffered another problem in training the following Thursday.
On Friday he reportedly arrived at Villa Stuard and, together with the club, agreed to surgery that Italian outlets attribute to Professor Piero Paolo Mariani. Those surgery details are reported and not independently confirmed here.
Contract situation and immediate availability
Dybala’s contract with AS Roma expires at the end of the season. This campaign he has three goals and four assists in 22 appearances. With the club yet to confirm medical specifics publicly, his availability for the remainder of the season remains unresolved.
The timings — a reported procedure now and a contract due to expire in months — make this a matter of immediate interest for Roma and the player. Recovery timelines and definitive medical findings have not been disclosed in the reports referenced.
