The Giallorossi are making a stop at ‘Castellani’ before heading off to San Mames in Bilbao: Ranieri is preparing for rotation.

Roma is ready to get back on the field after having archived the first round of the Europa League’s Round of 16 against Athletic. There is a rematch at San Mames on Thursday, but first, they’re stopping at ‘Castellani’ in Empoli, in search of another critical three points for the race to Europe. “Dybala is Taking a Break” (he has not been called up) and “Ranieri is Prepping for Team Shuffling” ahead of the Basques: “Celik is Out” (injured) “and So is Mancini” (suspended), “Room for Hummels” and either Rensch or Nelsson. Paredes is making a comeback in midfield, alongside Manu Koné (or Gourna-Douath). THE COURIER OF SPORT (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Rensch, Hummels, Ndicka; Saelemaekers, Koné, Paredes, Salah-Eddine; Soulé, Pellegrini; Shomurodov.
