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.
