Roma Faces Goalkeeping Crisis Ahead of Manchester United Clash
Alarm bells have sounded in Roma’s dressing room just hours before their match at Old Trafford against Manchester United. The team, already dealing with the loss of goalkeeper Mile Svilar to injury several weeks ago, now risks being without Pierluigi Gollini due to a back issue.
The Giallorossi’s first-choice goalkeeper may have to settle for a spot on the bench as the team prepares to face a tough opponent. In the coming hours, the Roma coaching staff will assess whether Gollini’s condition can be treated in time for him to play. If not, one of the reserve goalkeepers, either Vasquez or De Marzi, will need to step in to take on the responsibility of guarding the goal.
Gollini, who previously played for Napoli and Atalanta, is struggling with a minor back injury but is determined to play tonight. Should he be unable to participate, coach Gian Piero Gasperini will have to make the tough decision to rely on either a third or even fourth goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, the situation regarding Svilar’s recovery appears to be improving. The Giallorossi’s number 99 aims to return to full fitness after the international break, missing only today’s match in Manchester and the upcoming league game at the Olimpico against Sassuolo.
