  • R. Floriani (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.

Impact Summary

Udinese’s main attacking production from K. Davis and N. Zaniolo is intact, softening the impact of their defensive and midfield absences. Cremonese, who have struggled with just 30 league goals, risk further disruption if multiple doubtful attackers and defenders fail to recover, placing added pressure on leading scorer F. Bonazzoli and creator J. Vandeputte to carry the attacking load.
