Fellow centre-back Micky van de Ven (hamstring) is also still out, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario having this week joined the injury list after undergoing surgery on a fractured ankle.

Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and Mikey Moore remain out, while Will Lankshear is suspended following his red card against Galatasaray in our last match in this competition.

Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon are ineligible to feature in the Europa League but Rodrigo Bentancur is available as his suspension only applies to domestic fixtures.

As is traditional in European competition, we’ll be wearing an all-white variation of our home kit, with our goalkeeper in yellow.

AS Roma will arrive in a primarily maroon kit with gold trim, while their keeper will wear pink.

What will the weather conditions be like?

It’s due to stay dry in north London on Thursday, but it’ll be cold. Temperatures will be as low as three degrees during the game.
