Real Madrid will be without Eder Militao and Rodrygo. Dean Huijsen should start in defence after missing the win over Villarreal at the weekend through suspension.
Need to know
Roma eliminated Real Madrid from the Champions League in the 2007-08 season but have lost all four of their meetings with the Spanish giants since that success.
Real Madrid have not lost on Italian soil since a 2-1 defeat to Juventus in 2015.
Prediction
Real Madrid have an excellent record against Roma and Italian clubs in general but they may struggle to get a win over the line in the Italian capital on Wednesday.
Roma are on a 14-game unbeaten streak across all competitions and are an incredibly resilient side. The Giallorossi held Como to a 0-0 draw on the road over the weekend despite losing Donyell Malen to a red card early in the second half, and Los Blancos have been unconvincing on their travels.
Real have two defeats in four trips this season and have only managed four wins in their last 10 competitive away games, so Roma look capable of taking at least a point.
Malen will be keen to make amends for his dismissal over the weekend and at least two shots on target for the Roma man has a chance.
Malen averages 3.7 shots per game in Serie A with 1.7 per game on target, while he had four shots in the draw with Fener in their European opener.
Kylian Mbappe has eight goals in just nine games this season and the Frenchman could reach three shots on target.
Mbappe had four shots on target against Inter Milan and is averaging exactly three shots on target per game in LaLiga.
