Alarm bells ring in Roma’s dressing room just hours before kick-off at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

After losing Mile Svilar to injury a few weeks ago, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team also risks being without Pierluigi Gollini.

The Giallorossi goalkeeper could be on the bench this evening due to a back problem.

In the next few hours, the Roma coaching staff will determine if the issue can be resolved; otherwise, one between Vasquez and De Marzi will be forced to don their gloves and defend the Giallorossi goal.

The former Napoli and Atalanta goalkeeper is struggling with a minor back injury and is gritting his teeth to try to play tonight. Otherwise, however, Gasperini will be forced to field a third or even fourth goalkeeper.

Furthermore, Svilar’s return continues to escalate. The Giallorossi’s number 99 will be fully available to the team after the international break: the last matches he will miss, therefore, will be today’s match in Manchester and the next league match at the Olimpico against Sassuolo.
