Argentine star Paulo Dybala, famously known as “La Joya,” is set to miss the crucial Copa America semifinal clash against Canada, marking one of the most significant absences for the team. The reasons behind his exclusion from the lineup have been a hot topic among fans and analysts alike.
Despite his stellar performances and vital contributions in the past, and his great moment in Roma, the club where he plays the Argentine squad will have to push forward without their dynamic presence, raising questions and concerns as they prepare for this pivotal matchup.
Paulo Dybala could be the ideal partner for Lionel Messi in Argentina’s attack, thanks to his career-long versatility and ability to adapt to playing alongside central forwards like Julian Alvarez or Lautaro Martinez.
Paulo Dybala out of the game against Canada
Given Paulo Dybala’s impressive performance this season, it seemed unlikely that his absence would be due to tactical reasons. Yet, that’s exactly why Coach Lionel Scaloni has excluded him, believing other players adequately cover his position.
Consequently, Dybala won’t be featuring in the semi-final showdown or any part of the Copa America. He didn’t even make the squad, meaning he won’t start and won’t be seen on the substitutes’ bench.
