Gollini to make first Serie A appearance since 2024

Gollini to make first Serie A appearance since 2024 Roma will likely be without Mile Svilar for the next nine Serie A and Champions League matches, packed into just 28 days before the November break. The number 99, who has become a key figure for the Giallorossi, fractured the fifth toe on his right foot during training on October 2nd. As reported by Il Messaggero , in the coming days the medical staff will determine whether a screw will be necessary to stabilize the fracture. Any such procedure, however, is unlikely to impact the already scheduled recovery time. The last time Roma played a Serie A match without Svilar was on February 10, 2024, during the Roma-Inter match. Pierluigi Gollini will replace Svilar, ready to return to the starting lineup after a long absence. The goalkeeper made just one appearance in a year and a half for Roma, in the Europa League match against Panathinaikos. To pinpoint his last Serie A appearance, we need to go back to October 5, 2024, when he was defending Genoa’s goal against Gasperini’s Atalanta. This was a unique connection, considering the relationship between the two, who shared a four-year partnership in Bergamo. During that experience, Gollini had established himself at a high level, even earning a call-up to the national team. Subsequently, however, a dispute compromised his relationship with the coach, resulting in a separation that seemed to have definitively ended the possibility of a new collaboration.
