The Mali international signed for the Bianconeri from Liverpool for €13m last month, however he has yet to start a game for his new team.
Sissoko came on for the last 22 minutes of the disappointing 1-1 draw with Cagliari, before being offered a miserly four minutes of last week’s 2-1 win at Udinese.
Coach Claudio Ranieri has tried to play down the fact that Sissoko has not started yet by saying that he needs time to get used to the system of play.
“The midfielder has to understand fully what he needs to do and the style we play in,” The Tinkerman said last week.
However there is speculation that Sissoko has failed to impress in training and this is the reason why he is set to again be overlooked tomorrow, with Cristiano Zanetti and Antonio Nocerino taking their places in the centre of midfield.
The signing of Sissoko was hugely criticised by the majority of Juventus supporters, who fear that it could be just another in a long-line of disastrous purchases from sporting director Alessio Secco.
Secco has been heavily panned for his work in bringing in Jean-Alain Boumsong, Tiago Mendes and Sergio Almiron, who all arrived for a total fee of around €27m.
Probable Juventus team to play Roma: Buffon; Zebina, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Molinaro; Camoranesi, Nocerino, Zanetti, Nedved; Trezeguet, Del Piero
