Juve, post by Dybala: ‘From the outside we suffer more’. Here is the return date

Benevento has confirmed how much Joya is missing: the figures of the attack without the Argentine, expected in these days to complete the recovery from the injury to the medial collateral that has kept him stopped for two and a half months

“The suffering is equal or even greater when you cannot be on the pitch with your teammates”. Away from the field for two and a half months, there is all the pain of the moment in the post with which Paulo Dybala speaks in the most difficult days of Juve’s season: “Nothing would have made me happier than being able to help the team in recent months. … There are still two months to continue fighting and now more than ever we must be united. I continue to train and can’t wait to get back with my teammates after the break. We are Juve ”, concludes the Argentine, confirming the schedule for the return.

The problems of the attack

—

Zero goals and only seven shots on goal: this is the scarce booty of the Juve against Benevento, a team that hadn’t won in 11 games and now the first newly promoted team to remain unbeaten against Juve both in the first leg and in the return (it hadn’t happened since 2012-13, with Samp as protagonist, in turn victorious in Turin in one of the two races), with a total of 4 points in the two matches. The negative numerical data in terms of offensive production is made more serious by the fact that against Inzaghi’s team all the black and white “guns” were on the pitch from the beginning, namely Ronaldo, Morata, Chiesa and Kulusevski. Of the seven shots in the goal, four are CR7-branded, one is the work of Morata and two of De Ligt.

Argentine nostalgia

—

Expanding the overview to the whole of 2021, Ronaldo has scored 11 goals in the league, but the numbers say that only the Chiesa has managed to give him a substantial hand, scoring 5 goals; only 3 for Morata and none for Kulusevski, dry since December 19th. Dybala in 2021 had collected three appearances and one goal (against Udinese) before the injury, which was also decisive against Milan thanks to two assists for Chiesa. All this to underline how much Dybala is missing from Juve in this period.

Derby goal

—

Out with an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee remedied in the match against Sassuolo last January, four days after the match against Milan, the Argentine seemed to be able to get away with a couple of weeks off. Instead, his absence has lasted until now, between small complications and the resurfacing of a pain that has in any case discouraged his return. The date of his return to football has thus been postponed from week to week, and is still not 100% definitive. However, this seems to be the right time: in the first match after the break, that is for the derby of the Mole, scheduled for the pre-Easter Saturday, or April 3. Will these two weeks allow him to completely overcome the injury? This is what the whole Juventus environment hopes for, starting with Pirlo and the Argentine himself.
