Igor Tudor is set to make a change at the back in the aftermath of Udinese’s nightmare weekend as Leonardo Spinazzola is passed fit for Roma.
Spinazzola was doubtful after he picked up a knock during Roma’s 2-1 win against Milan, but he should be ready to form part of the back four in a 4-3-2-1 at Dacia Arena.
Elsewhere, Justin Kluivert has served a one-match ban and could be thrown straight back into the XI.

Udinese, for their part, had Nicholas Opoku sent off during the heavy 7-1 defeat to Atalanta on Sunday, so Samir is expected to come into central defence.
Seko Fofana should also return to the starting line-up after three rounds on the bench, in the hope of helping Rodrigo de Paul get back among the goals.
Roma continue their quest to climb into the top four in Serie A, whereas the Zebrette need the points at home to steer clear of trouble.
Udinese (probable): Musso; Becao, Troost-Ekong, Samir; Ter Avest, De Paul, Jajalo, Fofana, Sema; Okaka, Nestorovski
Roma (probable): Pau Lopez; Spinazzola, Fazio, Smalling, Kolarov; Mancini, Veretout; Zaniolo, Pastore, Kluivert; Dzeko
Referee: Massimiliano Irrati
