Udinese

Udinese have four players confirmed unavailable, with no doubtful cases, so the picture is clear-cut. N. Zaniolo and V. Bayo are both sidelined with thigh injuries, I. Gueye is out with an ankle problem, and D. Alaba is absent with a calf injury. Three of the four absences are muscular (two thigh, one calf), which makes lower-body fitness the main theme of this list. The available information does not assign positions to these players or give return timelines, so any claim about a specific area of the pitch being hit hardest would be speculation.

What can be said is that losing four players at once reduces the options available for selection. The group is likely to feel it most in rotation, since each absence removes one potential starter or high-minute contributor from the pool. Without data on squad composition, appearances or minutes played, it is not possible to say how significant each player is or which teammates would step in. A fair assessment of depth would depend on how well the remaining players cover the roles these four usually fill. Udinese's overall situation is manageable in numbers, but four confirmed absences with no doubtful players means no one is expected to return imminently.
