Roma have Pablo Daniel Osvaldo back on the bench for tonight’s trip to Siena, as Fabio Borini and Federico Viviani get a chance to start.
The Giallorossi are without the suspended Daniele De Rossi and injured Nicolas Burdisso, but Osvaldo is back for his first appearance of 2012 after suffering from a thigh strain, albeit only on the bench.
Instead, Borini completes the trident with Francesco Totti and Erik Lamela, while youth team product Viviani gets a rare start in midfield.
Siena miss goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic and midfielder Francesco Bolzoni, but bring back Franco Brienza, Mattia Destro and Emanuele Calaio.
Ex-Roma man Gaetano D’Agostino is on the bench, as the Tuscans hope to maintain their enthusiasm from the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg victory over Napoli.
Siena: Pegolo; Vitiello, Rossettini, Terzi, Del Grosso; Giorgi, Vergassola, Gazzi, Brienza; Destro, Calaio
Siena bench: Farelli, Contini, Angelo, Grossi, Rossi, D’Agostino, Parravicini
Roma: Stekelenburg; Rosi, Juan, Heinze, Jose Angel; Simplicio, Viviani, Pjanic; Borini, Totti, Lamela
Roma bench: Curci, Kjaer, Taddei, Perrotta, Greco, Osvaldo, Bojan
