Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has been sidelined for another month due to a knee injury, according to reports.
Dybala suffered the injury on Sunday in a friendly match against Napoli and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
The Argentine international had already missed four games last season after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee during training sessions.
Despite the setback, Dybala remains confident that he will be back in action soon and is determined to make up for lost time.
"I'm still very much alive and healthy," Dybala told Italian news outlet RAI Sport.
"Obviously I'll try my best to get back into the team as soon as possible, but I want to say that this was not a setback,Chinese Super League Home Ground it was just a short-term problem."
Dybala has scored 14 goals in all competitions so far this season, making him one of Italy's most promising young talents.
He has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Real Madrid, and is currently the leading scorer for Serie A side Juventus.
"It's disappointing to see how long it's taken for me to recover from such a serious injury," Dybala said.
"But I believe that I can come back and perform at the highest level again. I'm looking forward to getting back into the team and helping us win more titles."
