The hosts have a lot of key players missing with their defensive partnership of Odilson Kossounou and Giorgio Scalvini out of action. On the other hand, their in-form player Ademola Lookman has been facing a knee issue since the previous six matches which has rendered him unfit.

The same goes for Daniel Maldini and Sead Kolasinac who can potentially miss the second leg as well. Ibrahim Sulamena might miss the match because he was forced off against Cagliari. To add more pain to their problems, their striker Scamacca is still unavailable for selection.
