The Czech international returned from national team duty with a minor knock, and as a result will not be involved at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday afternoon.
There was better news elsewhere for Di Francesco - with Javier Pastore fit enough to be included. Schick's absence also means a first senior call-up for Primavera squad member Gianmarco Cangiano.
Aleksandar Kolarov and Daniele De Rossi are both also absent - but Di Francesco said at his pre-match press conference that he expects both to be back in time for the midweek Champions League game against CSKA Moscow.
