Shakhtar Donetsk will aim to attack Roma and Luis Castro will try to recover the three-goal deficit with a 4-2-3-1 formation, where Tete and Taison should start in the attacking trident behind Junior Moraes.
Taras Stepanenko and Dentinho are unavailable for the match, when Fonseca must cope without Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jordan Veretout.
Chris Smalling seems set for a place on the bench at the most, as Bryan Cristante should drop down into the back-three for another game.
Roma are expected to rotate, as they have one eye on the big game against Napoli in Serie A this weekend.
Rick Karsdorp and Bruno Peres are expected to start out wide, with Amadou Diawara and Gonzalo Villar in the middle.
Borja Mayoral should start up front, with Carles Perez and Pedro Rodriguez supporting him.
