Edin Dzeko is not risked after suffering from a muscular problem, so Schick leads the attack with support from 18-year-old Zaniolo, Cengiz Under and Stephan El Shaarawy.

Lorenzo Pellegrini, Daniele De Rossi, Javier Pastore and Diego Perotti are also out of action.

According to Marca, Coach Santiago Solari has not even chosen Isco for a spot on the bench, as rumours of his January transfer grow.

Isco has not started any of Solari’s five games in charge and is seemingly now dropped completely.

The Merengues have some injury problems, missing key midfielder Casemiro and goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

Also absent are Nacho, Alvaro Odriozola and Sergio Regulion, all of them defenders.

Probable line-ups

Roma: Olsen; Florenzi, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; Nzonzi, Cristante; Under, Zaniolo, El Shaarawy; Schick

Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Kroos, Llorente; Bale, Benzema, Vazquez
