Paulo Fonseca is dealing with an injury-hit Roma defence and could start Federico Fazio, Gianluca Mancini and Leonardo Spinazzola in a three-man backline against Benevento today.
Fazio has five appearances in Europa League so far this season, but hasn’t played a Serie A match yet.
Paulo Fonseca could give him a chance against Benevento today as Roma have Chris Smalling, Roger Ibanez and Marash Kumbulla injured.
The same is true of Bryan Cristante who, at times, has been deployed as a centre-back this season.
