2026-2027 Serie A: Udinese vs. Milan, Probable Lineups

Udinese and Milan face off on Sunday, October 25, at 8:45 p.m. at the Bluenergy Stadium in the late game of Serie A Matchday 8. The Friulians are looking to bounce back from a particularly difficult stretch, while the Rossoneri are dealing with a long list of injuries. Here’s the latest on the probable lineups and all the information you need to follow the match live.

Udinese enters the match following a crushing 3-0 home loss to Lecce, a performance that drew criticism from the fans. For the team coached by Kosta Runjaic, this marks their fifth consecutive league loss, but the club has decided to maintain its confidence in the coach.

Milan is also coming off a 3-0 loss, this time in the Europa League against Bournemouth. The Rossoneri’s situation is complicated above all by the numerous injuries plaguing the roster. Adrien Rabiot, Moreira, and Gila have joined the list of unavailable players, absences that are forcing Ruben Amorim to reshuffle the lineup.

For Udinese, Nicolò Zaniolo is back in the lineup but is expected to start on the bench. In the attacking midfield, there should still be a spot for Chakvetadze, flanked by Ekkelenkamp behind lone striker Davis. In defense, with Alaba out and Solet not at his best, either Ebosse or Kabasele is expected to round out the backline alongside Abankwah and Palma.

Milan welcomes back Gonçalo Ramos, who is set to lead the attack with Hutchinson and Pulisic on either side of him. Cisse, on the other hand, is expected to start on the bench, while Rabiot, Moreira, Chukwueze, and Saelemaekers will not be available. On defense, Tomori is likely to start in place of the injured Gila. On the left wing, the battle for the starting spot remains between Bartesaghi and Estupiñán.

Probable lineups:

Udinese (3-4-2-1): Okoye; Abankwah, Kabasele, Palma; Vojvoda, Piotrowski, Karlström, Kamara; Ekkelenkamp, Chakvetadze; Davis. Head Coach: Runjaic.

Milan (4-3-3): Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi; Musah, Modric, Jashari; Hutchinson, Ramos, Pulisic. Head Coach: Amorim.
