Roma are preparing a considerable rotation of their starting eleven for the upcoming Europa League return leg with Brighton.

Following their 2-2 draw at the Artemio Franchi against Fiorentina, Roma will fly later today to England to face Brighton and secure their progress to the next round of the European tournament.

According to Il Tempo, this will entail several changes to the team’s line-up for the night.

The newspaper claims the front three will be sent to the bench: Lukaku, Dybala and El Shaarawy will be replaced by Azmoun, Baldanzi and Zalewski, respectively.

In the meantime, Zeki Celik is also set to start again after an impressive performance in the first leg with Leonardo Spinazzola slotting in on the opposite flank.

Edoardo Bove could feature in Roma’s midfield.
