Midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards from last season, while Francesco Pio Esosposito is also put aside by suspension. Davide Frattesi remains a doubt after undergoing abdominal surgery and only recently returns to the training. The Croatian midfielder Petar Sucic is expected to make his series a debut and could start in midfield in the absence of Calhanoglu. Federico Dimarco is fit despite the suffering of a femur bruise in the friendly against Olympiacos.
