Roma may have to choose third-choice goalkeeper for Old Trafford
Roma goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini is in doubt for the team's match at Manchester United after a back problem in training.
Mile Svilar is also unavailable, leaving coach Gian Piero Gasperini without Roma's first-choice goalkeeper.
Gasperini must choose between Devis Vasquez and Giorgio De Marzi if Gollini cannot play.
Vasquez is a 28-year-old Colombian who has not played an official match for Roma.
De Marzi is a young goalkeeper from Roma's youth team and an under-19 international for the United States.
Gollini began his senior career at Manchester United's academy and had hoped to play at Old Trafford, where the match is being held.
Roma's final choice depends on Gollini's fitness, and the coach must decide who starts in goal.
