According to Corriere dello Sport, Udinese faces the away match at San Siro tonight with a severely depleted squad. Coach Runjaic will not be able to count on Oumar Solet, Nicolò Zaniolo, and Jakub Piotrowski, in addition to Arizala and Palma. An emergency situation that makes the mission even more difficult for the Friulians, who are called to repeat the success achieved a year ago against the Nerazzurri.
In the press conference, the German coach adopted a pragmatic approach: “we have nothing to lose,” he declared. Despite the difficulties, Runjaic trusts in the determination of his players, who will try to give everything to stop Chivu’s champions.
Among the absences, that of Solet is particularly significant. The defender was sidelined due to a muscle problem suffered in the match against Lazio. The coach is placing his hopes in the plays of Davis and has announced the possible use of Chakvetadze, the Georgian attacking midfielder formerly of Watford, who missed the summer training camp due to a fracture of the third metatarsal in his right foot.
The Friulians therefore arrive at the Meazza in full emergency, but determined to put up a tough fight.
