Find what role was added/removed with guildMemberUpdate

Hi, I am trying to detect when a role is removed from a user. I currently have the following code: 
client.on("guildMemberUpdate", async (old, new_) => {
  if(old.roles.cache.size !== new_.roles.cache.size) { // roles have been updated
      let currentRole = null
      old.roles.cache.forEach((role: Role) => {
          if (!new_.roles.cache.has(role.id)) currentRole = role.id
      })
      if (currentRole) { // the currentRole has been REMOVED
          console.log(currentRole.name+" has been removed.")
      }
  }
})
client.on("guildMemberUpdate", async (old, new_) => {
  if(old.roles.cache.size !== new_.roles.cache.size) { // roles have been updated
      let currentRole = null
      old.roles.cache.forEach((role: Role) => {
          if (!new_.roles.cache.has(role.id)) currentRole = role.id
      })
      if (currentRole) { // the currentRole has been REMOVED
          console.log(currentRole.name+" has been removed.")
      }
  }
})
I thought it would work, and in theory it does, however it doesn't work when the member's roles aren't in the cache (which is quite possible in my use case) so I was wondering if there's any way to detect what role has been removed given that the old's roles may not be cached. Thanks!

Checking the audit logs for modified roles is the only way I would think would work.
