AS Roma coach José Mourinho has highlighted the importance of Paulo Dybala to the team.

José Mourinho will be without Paulo Dybala for Roma’s match against Milan on Sunday. Dybala suffered a muscle injury on Wednesday and will not play on Sunday.

Mourinho spoke at a press conference on Saturday where he commented on Dybala and how important he is to the club. Here is what he had to say:

“Finding a solution to play without Dybala is not the same as finding a solution to play without Haaland for Guardiola, because he has Álvarez. If Sterling doesn’t play for Pochettino, Mudryk plays instead. For Klopp, if Díaz doesn’t play, Jota does, and if he isn’t there, then he plays Núñez. It’s not the same thing.”
