Amorim wants a reaction from Milan after Bournemouth, at an Udinese side beaten five times in a row
Milan lost 3-0 at Bournemouth on Thursday and have added Rabiot, Moreira and Gila to their injury list. Udinese are sixteenth after five straight league defeats, but they won 3-0 at San Siro in April.
Rúben Amorim asked for an immediate reaction after Thursday night. Milan lost 3-0 at Bournemouth in the Europa League, with two penalties against them and Mike Maignan sent off after 27 minutes, and the trip to Udine is the first chance to answer.
Milan look the stronger side with one side kept out and three goals or more in all.
Line-ups
Udinese 3-4-2-1
Substitutes Bartosz Mrozek, Daniele Padelli, Sandi Lovric, Oier Zarraga, Nicolò Zaniolo, Nicolò Bertola, Juan David Arizala, Lennon Miller, Giulio Vinciati, Unai Gómez, Enzo Ebosse, Lazar Jovanovic
Milan 4-4-2
Substitutes Léo-Paul Bouyer, Lorenzo Torriani, Pervis Estupiñán, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Comotto, Valeri Vladimirov, Lorenzo Ossola, Terracciano, Nirash Raffaello Perera, M. Cissé, Luca Menon, Silvano Vos, A. Cissé, Francesco Camarda, Yunus Musah
The answer will come from a thinner squad. Adrien Rabiot, Moreira and Gila are out, on top of the long absences of Chukwueze, Saelemaekers and Gabbia, and reserve goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano is also missing; Filippo Terracciano is a doubt, and Gonçalo Ramos is fit to lead the attack. All three new absentees are also in doubt for next Saturday's derby.
Milan are fourth and still unbeaten in the league, having beaten Atalanta 3-2 last weekend. Udinese are sixteenth after five league defeats in a row, the last 3-0 at home to Lecce. Kosta Runjaic is without Alaba, Bayo, Gueye and Zanoli, Solet and Abankwah are still being monitored, and Zaniolo, back from injury, is expected to start on the bench.
Udine has suited Milan: they have won on their last three visits, 3-2, 4-0 and 3-0. But the last meeting went the other way, Udinese winning 3-0 at San Siro in April.
