PROBABLE LINE-UPS |
INTER Julio CesarZanetti, Samuel, Ranocchia, Nagatomo Cambiasso, Thiago Motta, StankovicAlvarez, Pazzini, Zarate | UDINESE Handanovic Benatia, Danilo, Domizzi Basta, Isla, Pinzi, Asamoah, Armero Floro Flores Di Natale |
On the plus side for the Nerazzurri, defenders Maicon and Cristian Chivu could return to the squad along with summer signing Diego Forlan, and while none of the trio are expected to start, they could well feature from the bench.
Francesco Guidolin should have a full squad at his disposal for Saturday's encounter, with the only expected change from last week's victory over Roma being the re-introduction of Antonio Floro Flores to the starting line up at the expense of Almen Abdi.
