Official: Roma confirm squad list for Real Madrid clash as duo ruled out

AS Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has announced a 22-man squad for tonight's Champions League clash against Real Madrid at the Stadio Olimpico. The Giallorossi will be without goalkeeper Mile Svilar and midfielder Bryan Cristante, who both remain sidelined due to injuries. Defender Konstantinos Koulierakis returns to the squad after missing the previous Serie A fixture against Como.

Svilar is expected to miss about a month with a fractured toe, while Cristante will reportedly remain out for another week. In attack, multiple sources indicate Matias Soulé, Paulo Dybala, and Donyell Malen are projected to start. Malen is available for European selection despite receiving a straight red card and a subsequent one-match ban in Serie A.
