Mattia Destro returns to Siena for the first time since leaving them in the summer, as he starts for Roma this afternoon.

The Italian striker will have Francesco Totti and Miralem Pjanic as his two attacking partners at the Stadio Artemio Franchi for the Serie A clash.

Daniele De Rossi is suspended for Roma and Pablo Osvaldo is fit enough only for the bench.

Gianluca Pegolo starts in goal for Siena because of an injury to Andrea Campagnolo, while Emanuele Calaio is the lone centre-forward for the home side.

Siena: Pegolo; Neto, Contini, Felipe; Sestu, Vergassola, Bolzoni, Del Grosso; Valiani, Rosina; Calaio

Roma: Goicoechea; Piris, Marquinhos, Castan, Balzaretti; Bradley, Tachtsidis, Florenzi; Pjanic, Destro, Totti
