Roma were fresh off a 1-1 draw with Milan and sealed their place in the last 16 of the Europa League with a 1-1 win away at Panathinaikos on Thursday, albeit with a reduced squad of 10 men.
Gian Piero Gasperini must lose Paulo Dybala, Manu Cone, Evan Ferguson, Artem Dovbik and Stephan El-Shaarawy.

However, Mario Hermoso returns to the squad and January signings Malen and Robinio Vaz are also available.
Gianluca Mancini was sent off early in that Europa League game and will be keen to make amends for that.

Udinese sit comfortably in the middle of the table and could even finish in the top ten if they succeed here.
Alessandro Zanoli has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

He joins Adam Buxar, Hassan Kamara and Jakub Piotrowski on the treatment table, but former Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo returns to the bench for the first time since last month’s knee surgery.
Atta and Davies led the attack with Jurgen Eklenkamp providing support following the away win at Verona.
Since defeating Udinese 4-0 here in September 2022, Roma has won consecutive home and away games against Udinese in its last six Serie A games.
