G h o s t l y. Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Paulo Dybala will not travel to Bolivia with the Argentine team to play the South American Qualifying match for the Qatar 2022 World Cup because he did not finally overcome the gastrointestinal problems that already kept him out in the opening match of the 'Albiceleste' in the tournament against Ecuador, in which they won 1-0 with a goal from Leo Messi. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) announced this through its social networks in a brief statement in which it reported: "The player Paulo Dybala will not travel to Bolivia with the National Team since he is not in a position to practice sports. He will continue to recover after his abdominal pain. " It seemed that Dybala and midfielder Marcos Acuña - with an overloaded right hamstring - were at the disposal of Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni for the match of the second round of the Qualifiers against Bolivia in La Paz. The Argentine team held a final training session in Buenos Aires this Sunday and after a light lunch they traveled to La Paz with a stopover in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Coach Lionel Scaloni has scheduled a training session at The Strongest facilities for Monday, October 12 to finalize the details of the match against Bolivia. The problem for the Juventus forward is that Paulo Dybala was not only not at the best of his possibilities to be able to play, but he was also not able to face the demands of a match that is played in La Paz, with the affectation of 'bad de height'. WILL NOT RETURN WITH MESSI 'La Joya' did not feel good at any time since he joined the concentration of Argentina, to the point that it was low against Ecuador at the last minute. The improvement in recent days has not been enough to recover for the game against Bolivia. Dybala traveled to Argentina on Leo Messi's private plane from Barcelona, but he will no longer be able to return with Leo, as the Barça captain will depart for Spain from Santa Cruz de la Sierra. From the AFA they are already managing a new flight so that the Juventus forward can return to Italy. The question opens as to whether Paulo will arrive in time to play on Saturday 17 with Juventus against Crotone. 1
