The Biancocelesti are having another extraordinary campaign under coach Simone Inzaghi, still unbeaten in the Champions League and on the verge of qualifying for the Round of 16.

The fact they achieved this while missing so many key players just makes it even more remarkable.

Milinkovic-Savic has now recovered from COVID-19, along with fellow past cases Immobile, Luis Alberto and Lucas Leiva, but is not rushed back into the starting XI.

Instead, Danilo Cataldi and Marco Parolo are given the nod, wearing a special edition jersey in honour of Diego Armando Maradona.

Thomas Strakosha is also back in goal after Pepe Reina stood in, but Luiz Felipe, Senad Lulic and Vedat Muriqi are out.

Udinese are proving tough to beat with two consecutive clean sheets, and a 1-0 win over Genoa last week allowed them to clamber out of the relegation zone.

De Paul is the star man in midfield, although Roberto Pereyra, Fernando Forestieri and Ignacio Pussetto also bring some quality to the attack.

Stefano Okaka, Kevin Lasagna, Ilija Nestorovski, Sebastien De Maio, Thomas Ouwejan and Rolando Mandragora are not even on the bench for reasons unknown.

Surprisingly, coach Luca Gotti is also not on the Udinese bench, for reasons that have not yet been confirmed.
