Dybala delighted with Juventus return

Paulo Dybala was over the moon with his return from injury in Juventus’ 2-0 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.

The Argentina international last featured for Juventus in the 1-0 Serie A defeat to AC Milan on October 22 following a spell on the sidelines with a thigh injury.

But Dybala came off the bench for the final 10 minutes of the match against Dinamo and he was delighted to make his long-awaited comeback.

“I could not wait to get back out there,” Dybala told the club’s official website.

“Training is just not the same as playing a match. I felt ready for it as I have been putting a lot of intensity into my training.

“I might not have 90 minutes in me yet but I am match fit. I had felt no issues in the last few days and I felt none out there on Wednesday either.”

Dybala’s return gives Massimiliano Allegri more options up front and the 23-year-old is ready to play wherever he is needed.

“I do not know where I will play,” he added.

“I just know that I can slot in anywhere in attack: centre forward, second striker or even in the hole.

“I am happy playing anywhere.”
