Roma have been boosted by Paulo Dybala being fit to start tonight’s Europa League final against Sevilla, who are without a key member of their defence.
Six-time Europa League champions Sevilla have travelled to Hungary with almost their full first-team squad, though Argentine World Cup-winning left-back Marcos Acuna is suspended after his extra-time red card in the semi-final second-leg win over another Serie A giant in Juventus earlier this month.
With Acuna out, Manchester United loanee Alex Telles steps straight in at left-back as Sevilla boss Jose Luis Mendilibar faces some interesting selection choices elsewhere.

Fit-again defenders Marcao and Tanguy Nianzou are available after several weeks out, though both make do with places on the bench.
Likewise Spanish midfielder Joan Jordan, while Marseille loanee Pape Gueye and Mexico winger Tecatito are both ineligible for Europa League duty.
Suso and Erik Lamela will both be pushing to come off the bench after scoring as substitutes in the thrilling semi-final comeback win against Juventus.
For Roma, former England international Chris Smalling is fit after a hip problem and lines up in central defence.
Dybala has shaken off long-standing ankle issues, though defenders Marash Kumbulla and Rick Karsdorp are both still out.
Tammy Abraham spearheads the attack with Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini for support in a 3-4-3 system deployed by Jose Mourinho.
