Mats Hummels could finally earn his Roma debut, while Paulo Dybala looks increasingly likely to start from the bench as the Giallorossi host Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Tonight’s game is an early kick-off, scheduled to get underway at 17.45 BST.
Dynamo Kyiv will face their second Roman opponents in a brown in the Europa League, having lost 3-0 to Lazio in Hamburg last time out. Roma coach Ivan Juric looks set to make a handful of changes from his most recent Serie A line-up.
Mats Hummels said himself that he expects to earn his debut in the Europa League this week. The 2014 World Cup winner joined on a free transfer at the end of the summer window, but is yet to start since moving to Italy.
There could be changes in attack as well, as Sky Sport Italia suggest that Juric will name Tommaso Baldanzi and Matias Soule in the supporting roles behind centre-forward Artem Dovbyk.
