"I need to give my very best in a bid to test my fitness," said the Frenchman. "We need to forget about the first leg and focus because we must honour our shirt out there."
Parma seem to have the toughest task after their 1-1 away draw with Metalurg Donetsk in the first leg.
Top scorer Adriano is likely to be rested, which means that Under-21 international Alberto Gilardino will lead the line.
Former Sheffield Wednesday star Benito Carbone is also set to feature in the starting line-up.
Perugia will be looking to maintain their 2-1 advantage against Dundee at the Stadio Curi.
Defender Ignoffo is set to keep his place in the side, while Bothroyd and Vryzas will lead the forward line.
Udinese should also get through to Round Two as they take on Austrian outfit Salzburg with a 1-0 advantage.
Star man David Pizarro won’t play because of injury. Fava and Iaquinta start up front, supported by Martin Jorgensen.
