Probable Formations: Ludogorets vs Roma (Chiesa Di Totti)

Mourinho will have to begin balancing his rotation between two competitions with Roma's Europa League adventure kicking off in Bulgaria.

In front of Svilar will be the regular center back trio of Gianluca Mancini, Chris Smalling, and Roger Ibañez with Kumbulla out. Consequently, one of the offseason priorities was upgrading the back up keeper position by signing Mile Svilar on a free agent deal. With that in mind, we can’t expect a ton of changes from the side that was routed 4-0 up in Udine on Sunday.
