Frosinone's Algerian international Fares Ghedjemis, who turned down offers from Celtic, Rangers, Besiktas and AS Monaco to stay with the club, is not starting in the match. This decision comes amid ongoing rumours surrounding his future at the club. Ghedjemis' absence from the starting lineup is a significant blow to Frosinone, who will be looking to make a strong start to the season.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, have unveiled a revamped lineup for the season opener, with new signings Guglielmo Vicario, Zeki Celik and Randal Kolo Muani thrown into the mix. Douglas Luiz has been welcomed back to the team after loan experiences with Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, and is preferred to Teun Koopmeiners in midfield. Francisco Conceicao and Weston McKennie have also been chosen ahead of Kerim Alajbegovic.
Jhon Lucumi is on the bench just days after his arrival from Bologna, while Federico Gatti and Jeff Ekhator are injured. Michele Di Gregorio is not in the squad, as he's heading to Bournemouth on loan with option to buy. The match kicks off at the Stadio Benito Stirpe at 17.30 UK time (18.30 CEST).
