The Giallorossi are fresh from a 4-1 win away to Atalanta and need a victory to keep up with fifth-placed Juventus.

The absentee list is finally getting shorter for Jose Mourinho, as only Stephan El Shaarawy, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Leonardo Spinazzola are out of action.

Felix Afena-Gyan also returns from suspension, but Zaniolo and Abraham continue to work on their rapport upfront, with Chris Smalling helping to solidify the defence.

Samp are without goalkeeper Emil Audero due to a muscular problem he sustained in the 1-1 draw with Venezia, so Wladimiro Falcone gets a rare start.

Manolo Gabbiadini has shaken off a knock to start, with Valerio Verre and Mikkel Damsgaard ruled out.

Roma: Rui Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Veretout, Cristante, Mkhitaryan, Vina; Zaniolo, Abraham

Sampdoria: Falcone; Bereszynski, Yoshida, Colley, Augello; Candreva, Silva, Ekdal, Askildsen; Caputo, Gabbiadini
