Struggling Roma are without suspended defender Philippe Mexes and attacker Mirko Vucinic for the visit of Sampdoria. Centre back Juan and midfielder David Pizarro may return from injury.

Injury-plagued Juventus look poised to be without 11 players when they travel to Bologna with Zdenek Grygera, Hasan Salihamidzic and Paolo De Ceglie added to their casualty list.

Pacesetters Napoli will miss suspended midfielder Manuele Blasi for the home game with Reggina while goalkeeper Gennaro Iezzo is struggling with a back problem.
