Roma debuts in the 2017-18 Champions League
ROMA-ATLETICO MADRID PROBABLE LINEUPS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE / Roma is focused on its 2017-18 Champions League debut. Di Francesco's team didn't play the Serie A match against Sampdoria for incoming weather conditions and had the possibility to train well to face Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
According to the latest rumors from Trigoria, Patrik Schick will not be available for this match due to a sudden injury suffered a few days after his arrival in the Italian capital. Di Francesco's tactical scheme is not going to change, 4-3-3. Atletico Madrid's Simeone called up 21 players for this big clash in Rome. Augusto Fernandez is not available for this match.
A few doubts for Roma's Eusebio Di Francesco. Florenzi could start on behalf of Bruno Perez. Kostas Manolas is the centre-back together with Fazio or Juan Jesus. Diego Perotti should start while El Sharaawy could replace him during the match.
Diego Simeone will play with a tested 4-4-2. Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres should lead Atletico Madrid's offensive strategies. Gameiro could replace the Spanish striker though.
