Khouma Babacar has been given the responsibility of leading the line for Fiorentina in their Europa League clash with Roma in the Italian capital.

Vincenzo Montella's side are still without both Mario Gomez and Giuseppe Rossi, and Babacar gets the nod ahead of Josip Ilicic, who scored in the 1-1 draw when the two sides met in the first leg last week.

Mohamed Salah, Joaquin and Borja Valero will be trusted to provide support for the striker in a 4-3-2-1 formation.

Roma skipper Francesco Totti is forced to settle for a place on the bench as Gervinho starts in attack for the hosts, while there are also spots in the lineup for Seydou Keita and Miralem Pjanic.

Roma: Skorupski, Yanga-Mbiwa, Holebas, Torosidis, Manolas, Pjanic, De Rossi, Keita, Florenzi, Ljajic, Gervinho

Fiorentina: Neto, G. Rodríguez, Savic, Basanta, Alonso, Badelj, Fernandez, Joaquin, B. Valero, Babacar, Salah
