Mile Svilar to miss at least one month after training fracture
Roma will be without their first-choice goalkeeper after Svilar fractured the fifth finger in training.
Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar will be sidelined for at least one month after suffering a fracture to a finger during training, the club confirmed on October 10, 2026. The injury removes one of the world's top goalkeepers from the squad for the coming weeks.
Diagnosis and immediate impact
Svilar, a Belgian international, sustained a fracture to the fifth finger on his hand in a training session and is expected to miss around a month of action while he recovers. Medical staff will monitor his progress and set a return date once healing and rehabilitation are clearer.
The absence is a blow to Roma, who began the season strongly and sit close to the top of the table. Losing a first-choice goalkeeper at this point forces the team to rely on the backup, a change that can affect defensive stability.
"We've lost Svilar for several weeks. During training he suffered a fracture of the fifth finger on his hand," coach Gasperini said at the press conference ahead of tomorrow's away match with Como.
Roma will now prepare for the immediate fixture without Svilar and will evaluate goalkeeper options for the short term. The club expects the timeline for his return to be approximately one month, subject to medical checks and rehabilitation progress.
