Rudi Garcia welcomes Gervinho back to the fold after his spell on the treatment table, but Mohamed Salah, Francesco Totti and Kevin Strootman are still out injured.

Douglas Maicon sits out a ban too, so Alessandro Florenzi is moved to right-back again, with Wojciech Szczesny returning after he was dropped.

Torino have even more injury worries than the Giallorossi, missing Danilo Avelar, Gaston Silva, Nikola Maksimovic, Joel Obi and Alexander Farnerud.

Fabio Quagliarella leads the attack with Italy Under-21 international Andrea Belotti and are fresh from three consecutive victories between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

Toro have a disastrous record against Roma, failing to beat them home and away in all competition since 2007.

In the last eight years they’ve scraped just two draws and eight defeats.

Incredibly, Roma’s last Serie A defeat away to Torino was way back in October 1990, followed by nine stalemates and five victories.

Giampiero Ventura matches the club record set by Gigi Radice of 193 consecutive games in charge of Torino.

Torino: Padelli; Bovo, Glik, Moretti; Bruno Peres, Acquah, Vives, Baselli, Molinaro; Quagliarella, Belotti

Roma: Szczesny; Florenzi, Manolas, Rudiger, Digne; Pjanic, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Gervinho, Dzeko, Falque
