Stefano Denswil and Andrea Poli missed the previous match with minor ailments and could be back here.
Cagliari: Giovanni Simeone, Andreas Pereiro and Nahitan Nandez have turned negative and the matter for them is now to work on their form. Diego Godin and Adam Ounas instead are still positive.

Parma: Wylan Cyprien (thigh), Simon Sohm (thigh), Giuseppe Pezzella (thigh) and Valentin Mihaila (groin) were able to practice late in the week and have a decent shot at returning from their injuries. Juraj Kucka was a late scratch last week because of a knock on the back of his leg and he remains iffy. Vincent Laurini (calf) and Alberto Grassi (shoulder) are out.
Roma: Pedro was sent off last week. Lorenzo Pellegrini (ankle) and Jordan Veretout (thigh) are expected to be available but will be assessed until the last minute, while Gianluca Mancini and Davide Santon will likely miss another one with their muscular problems.
