Roma have Manu Koné back in the squad for tonight’s Serie A match with Sassuolo, but Gianluca Mancini, Pierluigi Gollini, Mile Svilar, Paulo Dybala and more are still out.
It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).
The Giallorossi are still unbeaten in Serie A, but smarting from their latest Champions League collapse, this time surrendering a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford for a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.
There was added bad news from that midweek round, because Devyne Rensch limped off with a muscular problem and is out of action here.
Gianluca Mancini also sustained a flexor issue in the right thigh and is not even in the squad this evening.
Goalkeeper Svilar has been out for over a month, and his understudy Gollini sustained a back injury ahead of the Manchester United match, so third choice Devis Vasquez had to make his club debut.
Neither Svilar nor Gollini are in the Roma squad tonight either, so it is again a choice between Vasquez and USA Under-20 international Giorgio De Marzi.
Long-term absentees include Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini.
Roma squad for Sassuolo
Vasquez, De Marzi, Kilvinger; Koulierakis, N’Dicka, Molina, Hermoso, Balerdi, Wesley, Lulli, Ghilardi; Cristante, De Roon, Koné, Pisilli, Mora; Castro, Malen, Soulé, Maccaroni, Arena
