Roma
Having recently recovered from his latest muscular injury, Roma forward Nicolo Zaniolo - who appeared as a substitute last time out - is in contention to start in Wednesday's final.
Therefore, Eldor Shomurodov should drop out of the side that started against Torino on Friday, while Jordan Veretout's spot in midfield is also vulnerable to the claims of Bryan Cristante, who has often featured in Europe this term.
Finally back at full tilt after the long layoff which followed his Euro 2020 heroics, Leonardo Spinazzola lined up on the left flank in Turin - with young Nicola Zalewski switching to the right side of Mourinho's midfield - but former Feyenoord man Rick Karsdorp has been a regular at wing-back and will hope to be involved.
Now back in action after a hamstring injury, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is now available and could feature in support of England striker Tammy Abraham, who will be on hand to lead the line, having netted 26 times in 51 appearances this season.
Roma possible starting lineup:
Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Cristante, Oliveira, Zalewski; Pellegrini, Zaniolo; Abraham
Feyenoord
Meanwhile, Genk loanee Cyriel Dessers, who moved clear as the Conference League's top scorer by netting his ninth and 10th goals of the campaign in the semi-final, starts up front for Feyenoord, who should adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation.
The Nigeria international is set to be flanked by Reiss Nelson - currently on loan from Arsenal - and Luis Sinisterra, who will aim to increase his tally of six goals in the competition.
First-choice goalkeeper Justin Bijlow has only just returned to training after being sidelined since March, so Ofir Marciano should continue as the last line of defence for Arne Slot's side.
Feyenoord possible starting lineup:
Marciano; Geertruida, Trauner, Senesi, Malacia; Aursnes, Kokcu; Nelson, Til, Sinisterra; Dessers
Prediction: Roma 2-1 Feyenoord (after extra time)
