Coach Eusebio Di Francesco confirmed that Nainggolan would be left out for this game after he posted an Instagram video of his partying at New Year’s.

The Belgium international swore repeatedly, including blasphemous phrases – the worst kind of swearing in the Italian language – and declared he was “blind drunk.”

As well as Nainggolan, Roma must also do without De Rossi, who picked up a muscular problem in training, and Defrel.

Rick Karsdorp is a long-term absentee following knee surgery.

Roma squad for Atalanta: Alisson, Lobont, Skorupski; Juan Jesus, Kolarov, Moreno, Fazio, Peres, Emerson Palmieri, Manolas, Castan; Strootman, Pellegrini, Gonalons, Florenzi, Gerson; Perotti, Dzeko, Schick, Cengiz Under, El Shaarawy
