Roma coach Jose Mourinho won’t risk anything in the play-off against Trabzonspor in the UEFA Europa Conference League, when Tammy Abraham starts in attack on Thursday.
The Giallorossi won 2-1 in the first leg and have confirmed a strong side for the second leg in the play-off round of the competition.
Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, who scored the first goal in the first leg, has been confirmed in attack, with Nicolò Zaniolo and Henrikh Mkhitaryan completing an attacking trident behind English striker Abraham.
Andreas Cornelius scored the equaliser at Medical Park Stadyumu last week and starts up front for the Turkish side once again.
Eldor Shomurodov, the match winner from the 2-1 win, has been replaced by Abraham in the second tie at the Olimpico tonight.
Roma (4-2-3-1): Rui Patricio; Karsdorp, Mancini, Ibanez, Vina; Veretout, Cristante; Zaniolo, Pellegrini, Mkhitaryan; Abraham
Trabzonspor (4-3-3): Ugurcan; Bruno Peres, Edgar Iè, Vitor Hugo, Trondsen; Hamsik, Siopis, Bakasetas; Gervinho, Cornelius, Nwakaeme.
