Roma have the opportunity to perform a few experiments and test fascinating new faces in their final Europa League group game with CSKA Sofia.

The Giallorossi are already certain of top spot in the group as well as a place in the Round of 32, so can afford to rotate the squad in Sofia.

Riccardo Calafiori already made the most of his chance last time with a spectacular debut volleyed goal against Young Boys.

The 18-year-old was due to start again, but at the last minute pulled out with a stomach bug and is not even on the bench.

Instead, there are starts for fellow youth academy products Tommaso Milanese, Mory Bamba and goalkeeper Pietro Boer.

CSKA Sofia are so far the only team in this season’s Europa League who are yet to score a goal, so at least want to end that taboo in their last group game.

Ali Sowe, Tiago Rodrigues and Younousse Sankharé lead the way.

CSKA Sofia: Busatto; Zanev, Mattheij, Antov; Yomov, Youga, Geferson, Mazikou; Tiago Rodrigues; Sowe, Sankharé

CSKA Sofia bench: Evtimov, Henrique, Carey, Beltrame, Vion, Penaranda, Turitsov, Ahmedov, Galabov

Roma: Boer; Fazio, Kumbulla, Juan Jesus; Peres, Milanese, Diawara, Calafiori; Perez, Pedro; Borja Mayoral

Roma bench: Pau Lopez, Berti, Karsdorp, Smalling, Villar, Bove, Ciervo, Tripi
