Davide Nicola has had mixed results so far on the Genoa bench, representing their third coach of the campaign after Aurelio Andreazzoli and Thiago Motta.
Domenico Criscito is suspended and Cristian Zapata not fully fit, so Edoardo Goldaniga steps into the three-man defence.
Antonio Sanabria, who for a very brief period was on Roma’s books, gets the nod to partner Goran Pandev upfront.
Roma have a huge crisis on their hands, as Alessandro Florenzi and Aleksandar Kolarov are suspended, with Nicolò Zaniolo, Diego Perotti, Javier Pastore, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Davide Zappacosta injured.
It means Spinazzola starts just days after his failed transfer to Inter in exchange for Matteo Politano was abandoned.
