Pierluigi Gollini, shortly before Manchester United vs. Roma, suffered a back injury and was unable to play in the match, which the Giallorossi lost 3-2.

The Roman side, having taken a two-goal lead (Soulé, Malen (R)), then fell behind in the second half, conceding three goals (Bruno Fernandes (R), Da Cunha scored a brace).

Gollini’s replacement, Vasquez, also saved the former Udinese player’s penalty, but the referee retaken the penalty for Cristante’s alleged invasion of the penalty area.

The goalkeeper, reinstated after Svilar’s injury, bears no particular responsibility for the goals conceded, except for the final one, where he could have been more ready to hit his own post, but Da Cunha’s shot was still difficult to stop given the monstrous power with which he fired.

The former AC Milan player could however defend Roma’s goal on Saturday in view of the last match before the break against Sassuolo.

Gian Piero Gasperini, in a press conference, discussed Gollini’s condition. He was sidelined today against Manchester United with a back injury and replaced by Vasquez: “I don’t know if he’ll be able to return on Saturday, we’ll see.”

The alarm bells are ringing at Roma, with the former AC Milan goalkeeper warming up to defend the Giallorossi goal again on Saturday ahead of Roma vs. Sassuolo. The next few days will be crucial to see if Gollini will be able to grit his teeth.
