AS Roma will be without goalkeeper Mile Svilar for their trip to face Como. The injury sustained in training rules him out for at least a month, forcing head coach Gian Piero Gasperini to call upon Gollini, Vasquez and De Marzi for the match.
The Giallorossi, sitting third in Serie A with 14 points, travel to Como tomorrow at 12:30 for the sixth matchday. The team heads into the fixture averaging 2.4 goals per game over their last five matches, an attacking form they hope to use after the goalless draw between the sides earlier this month. A better result is needed to stay within two points of leaders Inter. Top scorer Donyell Malen, with 6 goals this season, is among the forwards selected.
The full squad
Alongside the three goalkeepers, Gasperini has called up defenders Rensch, Ndicka, Molina, Hermoso, Mancini, Balerdi, Wesley, Lulli and Ghilardi. The midfield contingent includes Pellegrini, De Roon, Koné, Pisilli and Mora. The attacking options are Castro, Malen, Soulé and Dybala. Svilar's absence forces a change in a department that has been part of the league's tightest defence, conceding only 3 goals so far.
The Como match is a chance to solidify their Champions League position before the break. The manager must now manage his squad through a busy period, with the next home game scheduled for 17 October.
