Pereyra one of the comeback stories of 2018 as he tips Messi & Dybala to star together

Roberto Pereyra’s top-level career was being questioned after numerous injuries but he's now among the EPL’s top players and back in Argentina's team

There have been some great sporting comeback stories in 2018. In tennis, Novak Djokovic put a chronic elbow problem behind him to win his first grand slam in over two years at Wimbledon, before following that up by claiming the U.S Open. Meanwhile, in golf, a 42-year-old Tiger Woods defeated time, logic and debilitating back pain to win his first PGA Tour title in more than five years.

Watford midfielder Roberto Pereyra may not be a global superstar like Djokovic and Woods.
