The Giallorossi are looking to bounce back after defeat to Udinese, a result that pushed them out of the top four and dented their hopes of securing a Champions League place, the club’s primary objective this season under Gian Piero Gasperini.
Several players are already sidelined.

Speak Koné, Robinio VazStephan El Shaarawy and Artem Dovbyk are unavailable, while Evan Ferguson and Mario Hermoso have been training separately from the main group.
Dybala remains the biggest question mark.
The Argentine has missed Roma’s last two outings, staying on the bench against Panathinaikos and not being called up at all for the Udinese match, due to a knee problem.

The final decision on his availability will be made after Sunday’s training session, the last before the match. If Dybala returns to group training, he could be included in the squad.
Otherwise, he risks missing a second consecutive Serie A fixture, and a third in all competitions.
