Roma are without Evan Ndicka and Neil El Aynaoui, who are on international duty, and the injured Artem Dovbyk.

According to multiple sources, including Gazzetta and Sky Sport, Openda is favourite over David in the Juventus attack, while centre-back Gleison Bremer will return to the line-up for the first time in 84 days.

Roma’s Mario Hermoso is expected to be fit to start despite muscle fatigue, completing a three-man defence with Zeki Celik and Gianluca Mancini.

Former Juventus starlet Soulé will lead the Roma attack, while Evan Ferguson is favourite over another ex-Juventus star, Paulo Dybala, who is expected to be introduced from the bench.
