AS Roma prepares to visit Old Trafford in their next UEFA Champions League fixture as they face Manchester United on Tuesday night.
AS Roma arrive at Old Trafford in excellent, contrasting form. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, recording four wins and a draw. Sitting third in Serie A, they recently secured a convincing 5-2 away win against Udinese and thrashed Slovan Bratislava 4-0 in Europe. Roma boast a highly productive attack, losing just once in the Champions League league phase.
AS Roma team news
AS Roma travel to Manchester with a heavily depleted squad, leaving manager Gian Piero Gasperini with major selection headaches across the pitch.
The Italian side is facing severe fitness doubts over several of their most influential players, with star forward Paulo Dybala dealing with a calf issue, captain Lorenzo Pellegrini managing a thigh injury, and midfielder Manu Koné nursing a muscle strain.
All three key figures are considered highly unlikely to be named in the starting lineup tonight. Adding to Roma’s defensive concerns, standard first-choice goalkeeper Mile Svilar has been ruled out of the trip entirely due to an injury.
Backup goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, a former Manchester United academy player, is now set to start between the posts at Old Trafford against his former club.
AS Roma predicted lineup
Possible AS Roma starting XI: Gollini; N’Dicka, Mancini, Hermoso; Molina, De Roon, Pisilli, Wesley; Cristante, Soule; Malen
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Tuesday, 3rd November.
