What happened. Roma start Nahuel Molina and Leonardo Balerdi for their full debuts, with Paulo Dybala, Matias Soule and Donyell Malen in attack. Torino are short on strikers through injury but start Giovanni Simeone and Saul Coco.

• Evan Ndicka and Manu Kone picked up knocks, opening the door for Balerdi.
• Niccolo Pisilli steps into the Roma midfield.
• Che Adams, Cesare Casadei, Pietro Pellegri and Franco Ismael are out for Torino.

Roma look to protect a 100 per cent Serie A start after their Champions League draw at Fenerbahce.
