In a significant development for AS Roma and their star player Paulo Dybala, the Argentine forward is set for surgery on his left hamstring tendon at the beginning of next week, specifically during the week of March 24, 2025. However, the precise location of the operation remains uncertain.
Possible Operation Locations
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Messaggero, there are three primary options being considered for Dybala's surgery. One possibility is the Klinik Gut in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Alternatively, the Fortius Clinic in London, renowned for its sports medicine under the care of Dr. Andy Williams, is also on the table. Lastly, the German location in Munich, where Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfarth operates, is being discussed as well.
Dybala, known for his dynamic playing style and technical ability, is reportedly inclined towards having the procedure performed in Barcelona by the esteemed Dr. Cugat, who has a notable reputation in sports injuries.
Change in Medical Coordination at Roma
Adding to the developments surrounding the team is the announcement of Bernardino Petrucci as the new coordinator of the health and medical-social sector of AS Roma, working under manager Claudio Ranieri. Petrucci brings a wealth of experience to the team, having worked previously with Ranieri during their stints at Valencia, Chelsea, and Monaco.
Petrucci also has an extensive background in Italian football, having served in similar capacities at Lazio, Parma, and Udinese. Moreover, he is not just a medical professional but also a former Olympic pentathlete and currently serves as a doctor for track and field athletics.
What's Next for Dybala
As fans await more news on Dybala's condition, the focus is on both his recovery process and how the team will adapt without him, should surgery take place in the upcoming week.
With fresh leadership in their medical department and ongoing investments in player health, AS Roma aims to navigate through the challenges posed by injuries while preparing for the remainder of the season.
