Udinese will be playing next week in the UEFA Europa League against PAOK while AC Milan will be playing the Champions League against Arsenal on Wednesday. So, you bet, both teams would want to win this game without risking more injured players, especially Milan having already 13 injured players.
Here is the disciplinary situation. Udinese without suspended players and just one player with one yellow card away from suspension: Mauricio Isla.
AC Milan with 2 suspended players, Mark Van Bommel and Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 3 banned games.
Five players with one yellow card: Aquilani, Bonera, Mesbah, Antonini, Seedorf
After the game, top scorer for Udinese is forward Antonio DI Natale with 17 goals being also the top scorer this season.
Top scorer for AC Milan is is forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 15 goals. Though, Ibrahimovic won't play today as he is suspended.
Allegri having problems with the injured players and Zlatan suspended is force to make a turnover. Maxi Lopez might have more playing time, as well as Filippo Inzahi. However, most likely, it is El Shaarawy to be picked in the lineup.
Here is the official lineup frm UDINESE by coach Francesco Guidolin:Udinese Calcio (3-5-1-1) – Francesco Guidolin Samir Handanovic; Mehdi Benatia, Danilo, Maurizio Domizzi; Dušan Basta, Mauricio Isla, Michele Pazienza, Gelson Fernandes, Pablo Armero; Almen Abdi, Antonio Di Natale.
