Team news & squads
Roma team news
La Lupa's 4-1 league win over Monza at the weekend was marred by Rasmus Kristensen picking up a thigh injury, while Rick Karsdorp is sidelined due to a knee issue.
So Zeki Celik would need to slot in at right-back, with Chris Smalling likely to be part of the four-man backline.
Tammy Abraham is nursing his ACL injury, but De Rossi should be content with Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku and Stephan El Shaarawy starting in attack, with Sardar Azmoun ready to come off the bench.
