It has been an exciting week for the Giallorossi, as they beat Ajax 3-2 on aggregate to set up a Europa League semi-final with Manchester United.
However, they are trailing in the battle for a Champions League spot and need to get back on track.
This won’t be easy, as Torino will be feeling nervous after Cagliari’s comeback win to beat Parma 4-3 last night, closing the gap from the relegation zone.
Lorenzo Pellegrini is suspended for the visitors, joining injured Leonardo Spinazzola, Stephan El Shaarawy, Marash Kumbulla, Riccardo Calafiori, Chris Smalling and NicolòZaniolo.
Borja Mayoral, Pedro and Carles Perez get the nod upfront, with Federico Fazio and Bruno Peres stepping in to plug the gaps.
Toro are missing only one player, goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, who contracted COVID on international duty with Italy.
Therefore, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is again in goal, the younger brother of Lazio midfielder Sergej particularly fired up to be facing Roma.
So is Sanabria, who had a brief spell on the Roma books, but was never really trusted at the Stadio Olimpico.
He’s back in Serie A and putting away plenty of goals, creating an intriguing partnership with Belotti.
Torino: V Milinkovic-Savic; Izzo, Nkoulou, Bremer; Vojvoda, Mandragora, Verdi, Lukic, Ansaldi; Sanabria, Belotti
Roma: Pau Lopez; Ibanez, Cristante, Fazio; Reynolds, Villar, Veretout, Peres; Perez, Pedro; Mayoral
