Fiorentina vs Udinese: Serie A Week 17 Starting Lineups
Fiorentina aims to get back on track as they host Udinese in Serie A Week 17. The match kicks off at 17:30 GMT at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
This game marks a special occasion, as Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove returns to the stadium for the first time since collapsing on the pitch on December 1. He will be watching from the stands after being released from hospital with an implanted defibrillator.
Fiorentina are looking to bounce back after their 8-match winning streak in Serie A was ended by Bologna. Manager Vincenzo Italiano has made some changes, with Michael Kayode starting at right-back in place of the suspended Dodo. Lucas Beltran supports top scorer Moise Kean up front.
Udinese have several key players out injured, including Jaka Bijol, Brenner and Gerard Deulofeu. They started the season well but have struggled recently with just one win in their last seven matches. Florian Thauvin continues in attack behind striker Lorenzo Lucca.
Confirmed Starting Lineups
Fiorentina: De Gea; Kayode, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Gosens; Adli, Cataldi; Colpani, Beltran, Sottil; Kean
Udinese: Sava; Kristensen, Kabasele, Touré; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Zemura; Thauvin, Lucca
