The Giallorosso captain is injured and has not made the squad for the Last 16 tie, as he is suffering with a calf injury.
Seydou Doumbia is in the group, but according to Corriere dello Sport, Rudi Garcia will snub the Ivorian in favour Ljajic.

Seydou Doumbia is in the group, but according to Corriere dello Sport, Rudi Garcia will snub the Ivorian in favour Ljajic.
Mediaset agrees, suggesting that the former Viola man will be flanked by Alessandro Florenzi and Gervinho in a 4-3-3 system.
Vincenzo Montella’ s men are likely to line-up in a similar shape, with Mario Gomez’s absence seeing Josip Ilicic starting in the centre of the attack, supported by Mohamed Salah and Joaquin.
Micah Richards seems set to take his customary Europa League place at right-back, according to Gazette dello Sport, with exit-bound Neto behind him in the Tuscan goal.
Probable Fiorentina line-up: Neto; Richards, Rodriguez, Basanta, Alonso; Aquilani, Pizarro, Borja Valero; Joaquin, Babacar, Salah.
Probable Roma line-up: Skorupski; Torosidis, Manolas, Yanga Mbiwa, Holebas; Nainggolan, De Rossi, Keita; Florenzi, Ljajic, Gervinho.
