Roma director Tony D’Amico hopes today’s clash with Como can be ‘an advert for all of Italian football,’ putting faith in Pierluigi Gollini and Lorenzo Pellegrini amid an injury crisis.

It kicks off at the Stadio Sinigaglia at 11.30 UK time (12.30 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games on the Liveblog.

These two sides secured Champions League qualification last season, pushing out more prestigious rivals like Juventus and Milan to take those top four spots.

They hope to replicate that this term and have had strong starts to the campaign, both with very attack-minded approaches.

“We expect a good game between two strong teams. We had our internationals back on Friday, we hope this will be an advert for all of Italian football,” D’Amico told DAZN Italia.

Roma fans were shaken by news that goalkeeper Svilar will be out for at least a month after suffering a stress fracture to his toe in training, so Gollini gets his first Serie A appearance in two years.

Bryan Cristante is also still out of action after withdrawing from international duty with Italy and remains a major doubt for next week’s Champions League showdown with Real Madrid too.

From a tactical formation and squad depth perspective, "D’Amico: ‘Como-Roma an advert for Italian football, faith in all players’" carries substantial tournament implications for international seeding and domestic campaign momentum.
