Gollini doubtful with back problem ahead of Manchester United clash; Vásquez and De Marzi warm up

Roma face a goalkeeping headache ahead of their Champions League trip to Manchester United, with Pierluigi Gollini at risk because of a back problem. According to Fabrizio Romano, Gollini's availability remains in doubt and, should he be ruled out, Gian Piero Gasperini would have to consider an alternative for the starting line-up. The first option is Devis Vásquez, who could be picked from the first minute. The other possibility is the very young Giorgio De Marzi, born in 2007, who is also a candidate to guard the Giallorossi goal. Gollini's situation is to be monitored in the hours leading up to Manchester United v Roma, and Sky Sport also reported the uncertainty over the goalkeeper and the possible alternatives. The update adds to a fresh selection problem for Gasperini in the Champions League, with the goalkeeper position now in focus ahead of the fixture at Old Trafford's opponents' ground in Manchester.

Roma face an goalkeeping emergency just hours before their UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford tonight, after Pierluigi Gollini reported a back problem that puts his availability in serious doubt. The news comes after Mile Svilar was ruled out through injury, leaving Gian Piero Gasperini with a difficult choice that he will have to make at the last minute. If Gollini cannot recover, Gasperini would be forced to change goalkeeper again following Svilar's absence. The alternatives are 19-year-old Giorgio De Marzi and Devis Vásquez, who has been returned to the UEFA list specifically because of the injury to the Giallorossi number one. The situation places Roma in a real crisis in a particularly sensitive position, on the eve of one of the most demanding away trips of the season. Gollini's condition will be monitored over the coming hours. The problem could also have consequences for the next Serie A fixture against Sassuolo, the final match before the international break.

Pierluigi Gollini is in doubt for Roma's Champions League clash with Manchester United, after reportedly suffering a back problem. Il Tempo reports that the goalkeeper will do everything he can to be available to Gian Piero Gasperini, but the final decision on whether he plays will only be taken at the last moment. Roma travel to Old Trafford tonight for an important fixture in their European campaign. Gasperini is already without Mile Svilar, which leaves the goalkeeping situation a delicate issue for the head coach. The club's medical staff will assess Gollini's condition close to kick-off, with the aim of establishing whether the discomfort would allow him to play without particular restrictions. The uncertainty over the goalkeeper comes at a sensitive moment, with Roma already missing Svilar as they prepare for one of their biggest European tests of the season. Roma are in the UEFA Champions League this season, having qualified by finishing third in Serie A 2025-26.
