Team news: Vermaelen gets first start of 2017

TOP

Thomas Vermaelen starts for Roma for the first time in 2017, as the Giallorossi play Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday.

Vermaelen forms a three-man central defence alongside Federico Fazio and Antonio Rudiger. It is the Belgian's fifth Serie A start for the Giallorossi, his last coming against Chievo in the club's final game of 2016.

Otherwise the team has a familiar look, with Edin Dzeko leading the attack with support from Diego Perotti and Radja Nainggolan.

See the full line-up in the graphic below.
