Paulo Fonseca is forced to do without Chris Smalling, Davide Santon, Justin Kluivert, Bryan Cristante, Davide Zappacosta and suspended Gianluca Mancini.

The options are very limited in defence, so Mert Cetin is given the nod with Federico Fazio.

Dzeko returns after flu symptoms forced him to be only a substitute in last week’s draw with Inter, joined by Zaniolo, Pellegrini and Diego Perotti.

SPAL are propping up the table and in desperate need of points, with reports coach Leonardo Semplici could be sacked.

Jasmin Kurtic is suspended, with Arkadiusz Reca, Gabriel Strefezza and Jacopo Sala not 100 per cent fit, so Thiago Cionek and Igor step in.

Alberto Paloschi gets the nod rather than Bosko Jankovic to support Andrea Petagna in a 4-4-2 formation.

Roma: Pau Lopez; Florenzi, Cetin, Fazio, Kolarov; Veretout, Diawara; Zaniolo, Pellegrini, Perotti; Dzeko

SPAL: Berisha; Cionek, Vicari, Felipe, Tomovic; Murgia, Valoti, Missiroli, Igor; Paloschi, Petagna
