Pisilli to replace Lorenzo Pellegrini vs AZ Alkmaar

Roma are hours away from kick-off to their next Europa League fixture with AZ Alkmaar.

The Giallorossi will look to extend their unbeaten streak on Thursday night as they come off a recent 3-1 win over Genoa.

According to most media reports, Ranieri will keep changes in the line-up down to a minimum.

In fact, the only surprise start will be that of Niccolo Pisilli who is set to replace Lorenzo Pellegrini.

The Roma skipper is still not 100% fit after sustaining a knee injury last Friday night.

Pisilli will play alongside Paulo Dybala and behind Artem Dovbyk.
