Injuries and Suspensions
Udinese host Cagliari at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine in the fifth round of the 2026/27 Serie A season, with both clubs looking to build momentum in contrasting circumstances.
Kosta Runjaic's side come into this match under pressure after back-to-back league defeats. A 5-3 loss to Inter last Monday, in which they conceded two goals inside the opening quarter of an hour, followed a 2-1 home defeat to Lazio. Udinese need a response.
Nicolò Zaniolo, the club's number 10, has returned to group training after the muscular injury he picked up in August and is working his way back to match fitness. His absence has been felt across Udinese's early-season results.
Cagliari arrive in a far more confident mood. Fabio Pisacane's team have won their last two Serie A matches, including a 2-1 victory away at Atalanta in their most recent outing. They currently sit fifth in the table.
The visitors are without Daniel Maldini, who has been sidelined following an incident in Milan after the Atalanta win. Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini has publicly backed the player, noting that pre-test results indicate traces of THC rather than harder substances.
This is a fixture that matters to both clubs for different reasons. Udinese need points to climb away from the lower reaches of the table, while Cagliari will want to consolidate their place among the early-season pacesetters.
