Roma stunned as Svilar out for at least a month with stress fracture

There were reports Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar had an injury , but coach Gian Piero Gasperini revealed ‘he will be out for at least a month,’ so Pierluigi Gollini takes centre stage.

The Giallorossi have had a strong start to the season, sitting joint top of the Serie A table with Inter and Lazio, as well as earning a 1-1 Champions League draw away to Fenerbahce.

Some of that has no doubt been down to the performances of their shot-stopper, but they will be forced to do without him for some huge fixtures coming up, starting with tomorrow against Como.
