Jose Mourinho continues his touchline ban after the dramatic stoppage-time win away to Spezia, but the injury list has been whittled down to only Leonardo Spinazzola.
Zaniolo is able to play with a protective carbon-fibre mask after fracturing his nose, partnering Abraham with Lorenzo Pellegrini and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in support.
Teenager Nicola Zalewski is again preferred to Matias Vina on the left.
Atalanta lose Rafael Toloi to suspension, but at least get Berat Djimsiti and Merih Demiral back from their bans.
Ruslan Malinovskyi and Luis Muriel are only fit for the bench, with Duvan Zapata and Josip Ilicic still out of action, so Russia international Aleksei Miranchuk starts in a makeshift 4-3-2-1 formation.
La Dea had been struggling badly, but rediscovered their form with a 3-0 Europa League win over Olympiacos and 4-0 demolition of Sampdoria in Serie A.
Roma: Rui Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Kumbulla; Karsdorp, Cristante, Mkhitaryan, Pellegrini, Zalewski; Zaniolo, Abraham
Atalanta: Musso; Hateboer, Demiral, Palomino, Zappacosta; De Roon, Freuler, Koopmeiners; Miranchuk, Pessina; Pasalic
