AS Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar has suffered a stress fracture in his little toe during training and will miss at least a month of action. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed the injury at his pre-match press conference ahead of Roma's fixture against Como. The absence is a significant blow for the Serie A leaders, who face crucial matches including a Champions League visit from Real Madrid on Wednesday and upcoming European ties against Slovan Bratislava and Manchester United. Reserve goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini will step in, marking his first Serie A appearance in over two years.
