AS Roma welcome Genoa to the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night, with the Giallorossi desperate to halt a worrying dip in results.
The hosts are under pressure to respond, while the visitors arrive fighting for survival near the foot of the table.
Roma have found goals hard to come by of late, netting just five times in their previous five matches in all competitions. Genoa have matched that modest tally over the same period.
AS Roma team news
Gian Piero Gasperini must once again cope without leading forward Artem Dovbyk, who remains sidelined due to a thigh problem and is not expected to be risked here, even though a return is hoped for in the following round. Roma’s creativity also takes a hit with Lorenzo Pellegrini ruled out after sustaining a hamstring injury in training, adding to a growing list of absentees.
Leon Bailey continues his spell on the treatment table, while Neil El Aynaoui and Evan Ndicka are both unavailable as they represent their countries at the Africa Cup of Nations.
At the back, Mario Hermoso is a major doubt because of a sports hernia-type issue, with Gasperini confirming that the defender will undergo a late assessment before a decision is made on his involvement.

Possible AS Roma starting XI: Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Hermoso; Rensch, Kone, Cristante, Wesley; Soule, Baldanzi; Dybala
