Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar is close to returning to action after suffering a stress fracture in his fifth toe but will still miss the matches against Cagliari and Udinese. His recovery is progressing thanks to intense physiotherapy and muscle strengthening work, with the aim of being back on the pitch for the clash against Manchester United. However, the probable first opportunity to return could be the match against Sassuolo, before the mid-season break.
Thursday is a crucial day for evaluating the goalkeeper's condition: an MRI in Belgium will determine whether Svilar is ready to return. If the result were negative, the return would move to the away match in Parma on November 21st. The final decision will depend on the result of the exam, which will provide detailed information about the fracture and whether further interventions are needed.
Meanwhile, Roma goalkeeper Gianluca Gollini alternated solid performances with a few errors, as happened against Real Madrid. With Gollini in goal, the team conceded four goals from the Blancos and three from Napoli, but kept a clean sheet against Como, Genoa and Slovan Bratislava. These results show Roma's defensive stability, although Svilar's presence remains a key asset for the team.
Roma, with the rout of Svilar, is preparing for a new chapter in the season. The final decision on his return will be made after Thursday's MRI, and the team will have to adapt accordingly. If Svilar were to return before the match against Manchester United, Roma will be able to count on a younger and more dynamic goalkeeper. However, if his return were to be postponed, the team will have to continue to rely on Gollini and manage the defense with caution. In any case, Roma remains awaiting a positive result for the health of their goalkeeper and the stability of the defense.
