UDINE \u2013 \u00a0On the second day of the championship, Udinese is already facing an emergency that mainly affects its defense and attack.<\/strong> Ahead of Saturday's away match against Monza, Kosta Runjaic will be forced to reshuffle his lineup due to suspensions and injuries.<\/p>\n

The most immediate problem concerns the rear department, where they will be missing Christian Kabasele and Matteo Palma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kabasele is currently serving a suspension inherited from the final matchday of last season against Napoli, while Palma is struggling with a muscle problem that is expected to keep him out for about a month.<\/p>\n

Defense to be redesigned against Monza<\/h2>\n

Runjaic is therefore studying a new solution for the defensive line. The most likely hypothesis involves moving Oumar Solet in the center<\/strong>, with Ebosse employed as the left-hander and Abankwah on the right flank.<\/p>\n

The situation is much better in midfield, where the coach can count on several alternatives.<\/p>\n

The most significant absence is that of the new signing Giorgi Chakvetadze<\/strong>, still recovering from the injury he sustained in June while playing for the national team. His debut for Udinese is expected after the next international break.<\/p>\n

Still unavailable too Alessandro Zanoli<\/strong>, engaged in the recovery process after knee surgery.<\/p>\n

Zaniolo out, Davis remains a doubt<\/h2>\n

The difficulties increase again when looking at the attack. Nicol\u00f2 Zaniolo is expected to be out until October 11.<\/strong>. The strain requires about a month of recovery, and the subsequent international break should further delay his return to the field.<\/p>\n

Also in doubt Keinan Davis<\/strong>, who is trying to overcome the physical problems that already prevented him from playing against Como.<\/p>\n

Given the striker's previous muscle problems, Runjaic is unlikely to take any risks by starting him against Monza.<\/p>\n

Gueye on his way to a starting spot<\/h2>\n

Udinese should therefore rely on Unai Gomez and Ekkelenkamp<\/strong> on the three-quarter line, with Gueye<\/strong> as an offensive reference.<\/p>\n

The alternatives are limited. Bayo currently represents the only real backup for the attack after the departure of Buksa, moved to Mallorca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A situation that also affects the last days of the transfer market. The Friuli management is in fact looking for another centre forward<\/strong> who could represent an alternative to Davis and guarantee Runjaic greater options during the season.<\/p>\n

First, however, there's Monza: an away match that Udinese will face with a team already affected by numerous absences.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
