Josef Martinez and Amauri lead the way as Torino host FC Copenhagen in the Europa League.

It kicks off at 20.05 UK time (19.05 GMT) at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, the first European group game hosted by Toro since 1993-94.

The Granata had a dismal start to the season, but have started to pick up some confidence over the last couple of weeks.

Some of that was down to a creditable 0-0 draw away to Club Brugge, in which goalkeeper Jean-Francois Gillet performed heroics.

Gillet is in goal again this evening, celebrating his surprise call-up to the Belgium team after a 13-month ban for his part in a match-fixing scandal.

Absentees include Antonio Nocerino, Paulo Vitor Barreto, Cesare Bovo, Migjen Basha and Alexander Farnerud.

Fabio Quagliarella is rested in favour of Martinez with Amauri.

FC Copenhagen are in better shape, having beaten HJK Helsinki 2-0 in matchday one to top the group.

However, they have injury problems too, missing Christoffer Remmer, Kris Stadsgaard and Mikkel Wohlgemuth, while Steve De Ridder, Tom Hogli and Bashkim Kadrii are not 100 per cent fit.

Torino: Gillet; Maksimovic, Glik, Moretti; Darmian, Benassi, Gazzi, Sanchez Mino, Molinaro; Martinez, Amauri

Torino bench: Padelli, Jansson, Silva, El Kaddouri, Vives, Larrondo, Quagliarella

Copenhagen: Andersen; Hogli, M Jorgensen, Antonsson, Bengtsson; Gislason, Amartey, Claudemir, Toutouh; Cornelius, Kadrii

Copenhagen bench: Wiland, Delaney, Kacaniklic, Olsen, N Jorgensen, De Ridder, Amankwaa
