Tommaso Baldanzi and Caleb Ekuban return to the Genoa line-up, while Sandro Kulenovic comes in to replace Che Adams for Torino in a mid-table six-pointer in Serie A on Sunday afternoon.
Genoa were held to a 0-0 draw by Cremonese last time out in Serie A and currently find themselves in 15th place in the league table with 24 points from 25 matches so far. Their last victory in the league came in a 3-2 win over Bologna on January 25.
Torino were beaten 2-1 by Torino last weekend, and currently sit in 14th place in the league standings, three points above Sunday’s opponents, Genoa.
Daniele De Rossi has kept the core of his starting XI from the Cremonese match intact, but has made two alterations to his attacking personnel, with Tommaso Baldanzi and Caleb Ekuban coming in to replace Vitinha and Junior Messias.
Marco Baroni has made a few more changes to his Torino side, handing opportunities to Enzo Ebosse, Valentino Lazaro, Emirhan Ilkhan, Rafael Obrador and Sandro Kulenovic.
Kick-off is due at 11.30 GMT.
