Multiple sources, including Il Tempo and Sky Sport Italia, claim that Golli has back pain, which could rule him out of tonight’s match.
If Gollini is not fit to start, Colombian goalkeeper Vázquez will make his competitive debut for the Giallorossi at Old Trafford.
Gollini is Roma’s second goalkeeper and has replaced Mile Svilar in recent games. Svilar has been named the best goalkeeper of Serie A in the last two seasons.
Roma have re-inserted Vazquez into their Champions League squad following an injury in October, as the former Milan and Empoli top-stopper was initially sidelined.
Roma have four points in the first three games of the Champions League season, beating Slovan Bratislava, drawing with Fenerbahce and losing to Real Madrid.
