Argentinean striker Paulo Dybala has still not returned to training with the rest of the squad. In today’s session, the 23-year-old was once again apart from the rest of his teammates as he fights to get back into Serie A action. It had been hoped that he would make his comeback in Saturday’s home game against Atalanta but the muscle injury, which has kept him sidelined since the bianconeri’s defeat to Milan on October 22nd, looks to have put his return on hold for a little longer.
 

Coach Massimo Allegri will take another 24 hours to assess if he believes his star player is ready to take his place in the starting XI at the weekend, or whether he will ease him back into action in the clubs final Champions League group game against Dinamo Kiev next week. The Old Lady have already booked their place in the last 16 of the competition.
