The Friulani used the break for international duty to fire Davide Nicola and bring back Tudor, who already had four games on the Udinese bench at the end of last season.

He walked away over the summer, claiming his vision of the squad did not match up with the club’s, but evidently they are prepared to find some common ground.

They are hovering just one point above the relegation zone and the situation is increasingly desperate.

Tudor inherits an injury crisis, missing Bram Nuytinck, Lukasz Teodorczyk, Marco D’Alessandro, Valon Behrami, Samir, Antonin Barak and Emmanuel Badu.

He opts for a 4-3-3 formation, using Ignacio Pussetto and Rodrigo De Paul to flank Stefano Okaka, with Kevin Lasagna on the bench.

Genoa are comfortably mid-table and became the first Serie A side to beat Juventus this season, Stefano Sturaro and Goran Pandev sealing the shock 2-0 result.

Sturaro came on as a substitute in that game and has done enough fitness work over the break for international duty to earn his first start in over a year.

Oscar Hiljemark and Andrea Favilli are injured, with Antonio Sanabria and Pandev in need of rest after playing for their countries.

Udinese: Musso; Stryger-Larsen, Troost-Ekong, De Maio, Zeegelar; Fofana, Sandro, Mandragora; Pussetto, Okaka, De Paul

Genoa: Radu; Pereira, Romero, Zukanovic, Criscito; Lerager, Rolon, Radovanovic, Lazovic; Sturaro; Kouame
