The Rossoblu have won their last two Serie A games, but are still looking for their first win in Europe following a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa and 1-1 home stalemate with Freiburg.

Ciro Immobile is the only remaining injury absentee, though they still make big changes for squad rotation.

These include bringing Orsolini, Rowe and Thijs Dallinga into the attack with Jens Odgaard.

Coach Italiano remains in hospital undergoing treatment for pneumonia and is also expected to miss this weekend’s Serie A match against his old club Fiorentina.

Steaua Bucharest beat the Go Ahead Eagles 1-0 away in their Europa League opener, then lost 2-0 at home to Swiss side Young Boys.

Vlad Chiriches, Daniel Graovac, Joyskim Dawa and Mihai Popescu are on the treatment table.

They had originally been in the Champions League preliminary rounds, then knocked Aberdeen FC out in the Europa play-offs.

It has been a poor season domestically so far for FCSB, managing only three wins, four draws and six defeats in the Romanian SuperLiga.

Former Inter and Bologna striker Denis Alibec is in the squad, along with Italian midfielder Juri Cisotti.
