As of now, second-choice goalkeeper Gollini is expected to start between the sticks for the Giallorossi in Como. Gollini, 31, only made one appearance for Roma last season, conceding a goal in a 1-1 away draw against Panathinaikos in the Europa League group phase.

He last featured in Italy’s top flight as a Genoa goalkeeper on October 5, 2024, in a 5-1 loss against Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta. Roma will also travel to Como without injured Bryan Cristante, who is expected to be replaced by Marten de Roon. Furthermore, neither Matias Soulé nor Leonardo Balerdi are likely to start against Como after returning from Argentina international duty.
