This morning Roma will begin preparations for the upcoming first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals with Milan.

Following an important victory in the Derby della Capitale, the Giallorossi will look to keep their momentum alive in Europe as well as they are set to face an in-form Milan side.

According to today’s edition of Il Tempo, the team’s line-up will not undergo any major changes.

The only potential dilemma could be posed by Evan Ndicka’s suspension and the possibility of Chris Smalling take over his place in Roma’s formation.

However, the newspaper maintains that Daniele De Rossi is confident in starting Diego Llorente again after the Spaniard’s brilliant performance in the derby.

Moreover, inserting Smalling into the team’s line-up would entail a change of formation to enable the Englishman to play more comfortably in a 3-man defense – something De Rossi is not willing to do at this point in time.
