The Viola have qualified for the Conference League Final, having beaten Club Brugge in Thursday’s semi-final, and therefore need to rotate the squad.
Andrea Belotti and Jonathan Ikone are not even on the bench due to knocks, with Riccardo Sottil out for the season after fracturing his clavicle.
Gaetano Castrovilli scored his first goal last week after almost a year out due to knee surgery and he starts with Nzola, Antonin Barak and Nico Gonzalez.
Monza are settling into mid-table comfort and are without a victory in six, but did hold Bologna, Lecce and Lazio to draws during that spell.
The campaign is over for Patrick Ciurria following a meniscus operation, with players like Jose Machin, Danilo D’Ambrosio and Samuel Vignato not at 100 per cent.
Roberto Gagliardini makes his return after a one-match ban, but is only on the bench.
