Juventus' Dybala set for return to training next week
A floundering Juventus side is set to get a boost it so desperately needs, as manager Massimiliano Allegri says integral forward Paulo Dybala is slated to return from a thigh injury in the coming days.
Dybala, the 23-year-old catalyst of the Bianconeri attack, has been sidelined since suffering the ailment in the Oct. 22 loss to AC Milan, and has watched his side put in a string of flaccid attacking displays in his absence.
That culminated with a 3-1 humbling at the hands of Genoa on Sunday.

With Juventus set to embark on a tricky run of fixtures ahead of the Christmas break, the diminutive Argentine is thankfully on the mend, according to Allegri.
"You can expect to see Dybala training with us again next week," Allegri said ahead of the loss to the Grifone.
Dybala, whose attacking creativity and guile is unmatched in the Juventus squad, will likely be targeting a return in the Dec. 7 Champions League match against Dinamo Zagreb.
