Sebastiano Esposito and Paul Mendy will spearhead Cagliari’s attack in their home Serie A fixture against Nicolò Zaniolo’s Udinese.
Saturday’s Serie A action kicks off at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari, with the Rossoblu hosting Udinese at 15:00 CET (14:00 BST).
Cagliari will be without Idrissi, Mazzitelli, Felici, Pavoletti, Borrelli, and Liteta. Udinese, on the other hand, must contend with the injuries to Zanoli and Ekkelenkamp, as well as the suspension of Kabasele.
Cagliari holds a nine-point advantage over the relegation zone, meaning they are close to securing their mathematical survival in the league. The Sardinian team has managed to win two of their last five league matches.
Udinese has suffered only one defeat in their past five encounters and still has a mathematical chance of qualifying for European competition, though they are currently eight points behind seventh-placed Atalanta.
