Svilar cleared to return in goal for Roma ahead of Parma trip

Source: Roma News

Mile Svilar has been given the all-clear by doctors and is set to return to Roma's goal after the international break, Il Messaggero reports. The Belgian goalkeeper, who has been out since suffering a stress fracture to the fifth toe of his right foot in training just over a month ago, has been cleared following a medical check. Choosing conservative treatment rather than surgery avoided an operation and allowed the bone callus to form properly. Svilar has since taken part in his first outfield training session, although it was on a modified basis and alongside Gollini. The aim of the coaching staff is to have him back as a regular starter for the away trip to Parma when the league resumes.

His absence has been keenly felt at the back. The numbers show the difference: with Svilar in goal, Roma conceded an average of 0.67 goals per match and saved 80% of shots faced. In his absence, the average rose to 1.55 goals conceded per match, with the save percentage falling to 65.9%. Gasperini regains his defensive anchor as the season resumes.

Beyond his command of the box, Svilar's positioning and high-level sweeping out of his area stand out. He has also made huge strides with the ball at his feet, evolving into something of a deep-lying playmaker. That development has made him an indispensable part of Gasperini's system.

Il Messaggero's report confirms that the goalkeeper's return is now a question of when he resumes full training and then selection, with the Parma fixture the target date for his comeback.

Mile Svilar is set to return in goal for Roma after the international break, with the away trip to Parma as the target. Il Messaggero reports that the Belgian goalkeeper has been cleared by doctors after a stress fracture to the fifth toe of his right foot, suffered in training just over a month ago. Choosing conservative treatment rather than surgery let the bone callus form properly. Il Messaggero says he has taken part in his first outfield training session, on a modified basis and alongside Gollini. Forza Roma reports that he has returned to training without his protective brace and is cautiously targeting Parma, ahead of a European night against champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.

Il Messaggero says his absence has been keenly felt at the back. With Svilar in goal, Roma conceded an average of 0.67 goals per match and saved 80% of shots faced; without him, the average rose to 1.55 goals and the save percentage fell to 65.9%. Forza Roma goes further, calling him the best goalkeeper in Serie A for the third consecutive season. It cites him leading the league for goals prevented per 90 minutes (0.38) and pass completion (92.1%), and ranking second for save percentage among the top five European leagues (83.3%).

Opta data cited by Forza Roma compares Svilar with Gollini over similar minutes: 7 poor parries for Svilar across 485 minutes, against 15 for Gollini across 483. Forza Roma says the comparison is not an attack on Gollini, who has also prevented 2.75 goals in Serie A. The outlet also reports that Roma rejected a Bayern Munich approach for Svilar in the summer. The outlets differ on timing: Il Messaggero frames the question as when he resumes full training and then selection, while Forza Roma says his rehabilitation is progressing toward a return in the coming matches.

Dybala and Mancini return to training at Trigoria as Gasperini eyes January reinforcements

Dybala and Mancini have returned to training with the group at Trigoria, with both now in contention for Roma's trip to Parma on 21 November. The squad resumed work after three days' rest with thirteen players away on international duty, and Gian Piero Gasperini used the break to clear the injury list. Paulo Dybala is gradually overcoming a calf injury, while Gianluca Mancini has almost shaken off a muscle complaint. Their responses will be assessed over the coming days, but the chances of both being available at the Tardini are growing. There are also encouraging signs for Mile Svilar, who is still training apart from the group but has put his boots back on after weeks in a protective boot for a foot injury, boosting hopes of his return in goal against Parma. His recovery will also allow Pierluigi Gollini to recover more calmly from the back problem that cost him the last two matches. Gasperini is now looking ahead to the January window and will discuss the matter this week with sporting director Tony D'Amico and chief executive John Galantic. The coach's priority is to add offensive options with a profile offering pace and unpredictability. Three different options are on the club's list, though none has yet become a concrete negotiation. The internal discussions come against a backdrop of a cool and distant relationship between Gasperini and the Friedkin family. No meetings with the ownership are currently planned to define winter strategy, so the talks with D'Amico and Galantic will serve to set priorities and room for manoeuvre while awaiting decisions from the American owners.

PSG-Roma: Police cut away-end allocation to 1,500 over Napoli ultras friendship

Police in France have cut the number of tickets available to Roma supporters for the Champions League trip to Paris Saint-Germain, reducing the away allocation at the Parc des Princes from 2,376 to 1,500. The move, reported by Daniele Aloisi in Il Messaggero, is linked to a friendship between PSG's ultras and Napoli's supporters, which has raised public order concerns for the French authorities. Tickets go on sale from today at 12:00. The decision comes as Roma prepare for the fixture in Paris on 25 November. Dybala has returned to partial training with the group in Trigoria, nearly a month after the injury he picked up against Real Madrid on 14 October. Yesterday he showed sharp touches and scored in a training-ground game, which is good news for Gasperini. Gollini's return has slipped, but it is not a cause for concern. Rensch is heading towards missing the trip to Parma's Tardini. Roma fans will still be present at the Parc des Princes, although the decision on Parma remains on standby. The goal is for the squad to be fit for Paris on 25 November.

Svilar nears return after foot injury, set to start against Parma

Mile Svilar is closing in on a return to action, with the Belgian goalkeeper set to start for Roma against Parma on 21 November. Svilar was back on the training ground at Trigoria on Tuesday for the first time since 2 October, when he suffered a stress fracture to the fifth toe of his right foot after a routine save. He had been wearing a protective boot for more than a month, and he has now removed it and resumed work with the gloves and boots on. His rehabilitation, carried out between Belgium and Italy, has gone to plan. Over the coming days Svilar is expected to train at full intensity and reclaim his place between the posts when Serie A resumes. The news is also encouraging for the club's medical staff on the goalkeeping front, as Pierluigi Gollini is recovering from a back strain he picked up shortly before the match in Manchester. The update was reported by Francesco Balzani in La Gazzetta dello Sport. For Gian Piero Gasperini and the Roma defence, the return of Svilar is a welcome boost ahead of the Parma fixture.

Dybala back in training as Svilar drops protective boot ahead of Parma clash

Paulo Dybala is back in training at Trigoria with no problems in his calf, and he is expected to be fully available when Roma resume Serie A against Parma on 21 November. The Argentine trained in part of the session with the group, alongside Gianluca Mancini. Barring a late setback, he will be at Gasperini's disposal for the return to league action. Goalkeeper Mile Svilar also returned to the pitch in football boots to carry out differentiated work for the first time without his protective boot. It is a necessary step for the Serbian keeper, who is recovering from a stress fracture to his fifth toe. Svilar is expected to rejoin the group regularly in the coming days and return to the Giallorossi goal. The article notes that Roma have conceded roughly three times as many goals without him between the posts, which it describes as no coincidence. The news is a major boost for Gian Piero Gasperini as the club push in the title race. Gasperini will also have Manu Koné back at full fitness during the international break, after the French midfielder withdrew from the France squad. Gollini is also set to be available again. Lorenzo Pellegrini, however, faces a longer road back and is now aiming to return in 2027. The article adds that tickets for the away trip to Paris to face PSG go on sale from today.
