Jose Mourinho's season came to an end, long, difficult, and brutal one in which he fought the odds with his Roma squad.

Dybala, who has scored 16 goals in all competitions this season, has been suffering from an injury since April, while Wijnaldum sustained a blow in the quarter finals against Feyenoord and has not been used sparingly ever since.

Winning the trophy will also guarantee a Champions League spot for a side that currently sits sixth in Serie A and four points off fourth place AC Milan. However, Dybala's news isn't encouraging. And if he does recover in time for the game, the 29-year-old will not have played for two months, meaning Mourinho will not have put him in jeopardy in such a big game.

Jose Mourinho's regular remark separates him from Roma's coterie and supporters. Roma's surprise Coppa Italia departure at the hands of Cremonese was a bitter blow to take for a coach who never emphasizes the club's transfer market or his squad's weaknesses if they lose.
