Paulo Dybala is a serious doubt for the Europa League final that Roma will play against Sevilla on May 31 in Budapest, as José Mourinho, coach of the Italian team, said today.
Dybala is the great figure of Roma as shown by 16 goals and eight assists that he achieved this season in all competitions after arriving last summer with a letter of independence by refusing to renew for Juventus.
However, the Argentinian midfielder reaches the decisive stage of the season with an ankle injury that he has been carrying since the end of April and is racing against the clock to arrive in time for the Europa League final.
Mourinho is now clear about Dybala’s presence in Budapest against Sevilla. “I don’t think I will be able to play. I really hope I can get to the bench. This is the last game of the season even if we have Spezia later,” said the Portuguese coach, referring to the last day of Serie A, set for June 4.
“For Paulo this is the last game. I will be happy if I can be on the bench and play 15 or 20 minutes. Dybala is still at the doctors,” added Mourinho about the Argentine.
Pellegrini will be

Enjoy the final, despite the rumors of the march
Mourinho stressed the importance of enjoying the final despite rumors he could leave the club at the end of the season and join the PSG bench. In this sense, he mysteriously said: “I will always be associated with Rome”.
Instead, he admits he doesn’t have the same connection with Tottenham. “I hope your fans don’t misunderstand me, but the only club in my career I still don’t feel deeply about is Tottenham,” said Mourinho, who also managed Porto, Inter, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United. .
Dart at Tottenham for his dismissal
“Maybe because the stadium is empty, during the COVID. Maybe because Mr. Levy (the president of Spurs) didn’t allow me to win the final and win the trophy,” explained Mourinho. “But that’s just one, apart from that, I feel a connection to all the clubs. People might say that you can’t love all the clubs, but yes, I love all the clubs!”
Mourinho was sacked by Tottenham in April 2021 after 17 months in charge and six days before the League Cup final, which they lost under the interim manager. ryan mason against Manchester City at Wembley (1-0).
