What happened. Gasperini criticized Roma's squad depth after a 4-1 friendly loss to Cardiff City, stating the team needs a defender, a winger, and two strikers.

Roma fumbled a 3-0 lead to draw with Cannes earlier in pre-season.
Three midfielders are currently out injured.
Castro started the match and is a positive signing per Gasperini.

“Anyone can see this squad needs to be completed. I asked for a defender, a winger, and two strikers.”
— Gian Piero Gasperini
