Roma coach Ivan Juric should confirm Gianluca Mancini in defence despite reports of a recent rift between the two in a game that could determine his future against his former side Torino in Serie A.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19.45 GMT) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
The Giallorossi are still shaken after their 5-1 defeat at Fiorentina last weekend, but Juric looks bound to field the same starting IX except for the suspended Mario Hermoso, who Nicola Zalewski should replace with Angelino moved at the back.
Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini are expected to start behind Artem Dovbyk, while there’s still uncertainty on who will play alongside Manu Koné in central midfield, as Bryan Cristante and Enzo Le Fée in contention for a place.
Torino returned to winning ways in their last Serie A outing against Como, and coach Paolo Vanoli seems oriented to confirm most of the players that started last Friday.
Mërgim Vojvoda replacing Sebastian Walukiewicz as a right wing-back should be the only change for the Granata, who’ll see Nikola Vlasic and Karol Linetty flank Samuele Ricci in the midfield trio.
Teenager Alieu Njie scored Torino’s winner at Como but is set to begin on the bench again, as Ché Adams and Antonio Sanabria will start up front.
