Milan-owned Simone Verdi takes the trequartista role behind veteran hitmen Francesco Tavano and Massimo Maccarone.
Daniele Rugani is also one to watch in defence, as the 20-year-old has already been called up by Antonio Conte for Italy.
Torino secured their Europa League qualification on Thursday with a 5-1 victory away to FC Copenhagen and learned today their opponents in the knockouts will be Athletic Bilbao.
However, continental progress has come at a price, because they are without a Serie A win in seven rounds.
Fabio Quagliarella leads the attack with Josef Martinez, but absentees include Giuseppe Vives, Juan Sanchez Mino, Marco Benassi, Migjen Basha, Marcelo Larrondo and Salvatore Masiello.
Toro’s history in this fixture is not promising either, as they have never won at the Stadio Castellani in 11 attempts between Serie A and B.
