Mile Svilar is set to retain his position in goal for Roma, while there might be a change upfront with Sardar Azmoun possibly stepping in for Romelu Lukaku against Torino, led by Duvan Zapata. The match is scheduled to commence at 17:30 GMT at the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma, striving to maintain their pursuit of a top-four finish, face injury setbacks with Tammy Abraham and Diego Llorente sidelined. As a result, Evan N’Dicka is anticipated to rejoin the starting lineup, partnering with Gianluca Mancini in defense. In midfield, Lorenzo Pellegrini may be rested, paving the way for Edoardo Bove’s inclusion. Meanwhile, Lukaku might start on the bench, potentially replaced by Iranian international Azmoun, who notably scored in the previous Serie A fixture against Frosinone.
Torino, on the other hand, arrive in Rome without Perr Schuurs, Adrien Tameze, Alessandro Buongiorno, and Mergim Vojvoda due to injuries. However, Ricardo Rodriguez is poised to make a return to the starting XI, joining Matteo Lovato and Koffi Djidji in a three-man defense. Upfront, Zapata, a previous target for Roma before Lukaku’s arrival, is set to lead the attack alongside Antonio Sanabria.
Roma-Torino, probable line-ups
Roma (4-3-2-1): Svilar; Kristensen, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino; Cristante, Paredes, Bove; Dybala, El Shaarawy; Azmoun (Lukaku).
Torino (3-4-1-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Djidji, Lovato, Rodriguez; Bellanova, Ricci, Linetty, Lazaro; Vlasic; Sanabria, Zapata.
