Roma risk losing their opening Serie A game with Verona 3-0 after reports they irregularly fielded Amadou Diawara.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the midfielder was still registered in the Under-22 list of players and not in their main squad.
The problem is that he turned 23 on July 17 and was therefore placed in the wrong list.
There are concerns now that it could mean Roma irregularly fielded a player and will forfeit the match 3-0.

It had ended 0-0 on Saturday evening at the Stadio Bentegodi.
There is a precedent and Sassuolo were penalised in 2016 with a 3-0 defeat.
Roma are ready to lodge an appeal, assuring the mistake was in good faith and simply an error in the paperwork.
