Dybala update: calf improving, could return against Cagliari

Dybala's right calf injury shows significant improvement; AS Roma expect him available for Tuesday's Cagliari match, possibly from the bench.

Paulo Dybala underwent medical checks on his right calf injury (a slight tear of the gastrocnemius muscle) and showed substantial clinical improvement. Manager Gasperini is keen to accelerate his return following the loss of Pellegrini to injury. Dybala could feature on the bench against Cagliari on Tuesday, potentially starting in the following match against Udinese on November 3rd, ahead of the initially planned recovery timeline.
