Gianluigi Buffon will miss his second game in a row due to a shoulder injury he picked up in training last week. Summer signing Arturo Vidal is nursing a thigh injury but should make the bench on Tuesday, while Emanuele Giaccherini is out.

Alberto Gilardino will likely make his first start since for the Viola since injuring his knee on September 18 against Udinese. Mattia Cassani and Per Kroldrup are both injured and will miss the contest while Riccardo Montolivo is suspended.
