Roma coach Gasperini confirmed that their starting goalkeeper, Svilar, will be out for at least one month due to a stress fracture.
Serie A resumes after the international break. In Week 6, Roma will face Cesc Fàbregas' Como away on Sunday afternoon. Gasperini attended the press conference before the match; three days later, Roma will also play against José Mourinho's Real Madrid in the Champions League.
When discussing Svilar's injury, Gasperini said: "Unfortunately, we will lose him for a few weeks. He suffered a minor impact in training and then developed a stress fracture. The problem is at the base of the fifth metacarpal, a non-displaced fracture, but it will require at least one month to recover. He might not return until after the next international break. This is bad news for us, and we will prepare Gollini, who has the opportunity to become an important goalkeeper again, as he once was."
Regarding the team's situation, Gasperini said: "All the players are back. Yesterday, we trained together as a full squad, and the players who stayed here trained very well." He added: "We already know about Cristante's situation. As for the others, Koulierakis suffered a serious impact against Germany and will not be able to play tomorrow."
