Scotland have suffered a late blow before Saturday's Six Nations match against Italy with number eight Dave Denton forced out of the starting XV.
The Bath back-rower, 26, sustained a mild groin strain in Friday's captain's run and will be replaced by Glasgow's Ryan Wilson.
Wilson, recalled to the match-day 23 in Rome, is promoted from the bench.
Josh Strauss, who played 75 minutes for Glasgow against Dragons on Thursday, is summoned to join the replacements.
Scotland are aiming to avoid a 10th successive Six Nations defeat in Rome, scene of their last victory two years ago.
Italy have brought in Kelly Haimona to replace the injured Carlo Canna.
Full-back David Odiete returns from an ankle injury to replace Luke McLean, as lock Joshua Furno comes in for George Biagi, who broke a rib against England.
Meanwhile, veteran hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini returns to the front row, for his first international game since suffering a hamstring injury at the World Cup.
