Paulo Dybala is set to return to Roma’s line-up after having been rested on Thursday night.

The Argentine forward was in fact not 100% fit during Roma’s most recent trip to England where they faced Brighton in the return leg of the Europa League Round of 16.

As a result, Daniele De Rossi decided to not play him at all, allowing the ex-Juve man to rest on the bench for the entire duration of the match.

According to Il Tempo, Dybala is now ready to make his return to Roma’s formation and will do so in this weekend’s fixture with Sassuolo, alongside Sardar Azmoun who is set to replace injured Romelu Lukaku.
