It’s De Rossi’s first game against his former club Roma, where he spent almost his entire playing career and later coached for a few months in 2024.
The Giallorossi are without Neil El Aynaoui, Evan Ndicka, Leon Bailey, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Artem Dovbyk, while Genoa must cope without the suspended Nicola Leali plus Jean Onana, Albert Gronbaek, Benjamin Siegrist, Maxwell Cornet and Junior Messias.
With Leali and Siegrist out of action, third-choice Genoa keeper Daniele Sommariva will start in goal, making his fourth Serie A appearance at 28.

Mario Hermoso is still not fully fit for Roma, so Jan Ziółkowski is favourite to start in defence alongside Gianluca Mancini and Devyne Rensch.
According to Gazzetta and Corriere dello Sport, Tommaso Baldanzi is favourite over Evan Ferguson in a three-man attack, completed by Dybala and Soulé.
The match will be televised on DAZN in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide updates via a liveblog.
Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Ziolkowski, Rensch; Celik, Cristante, Koné, Wesley; Soulé, Baldanzi; Dybala.
