Inter Milan vs Udinese – Match preview and team news

Inter Milan and Udinese will clash at San Siro on Monday night, with Inter aiming to secure their fourth consecutive league win and climb above Lazio. Cristian Chivu's side will be making selections after a Champions League trip to Madrid, possibly starting Federico Dimarco as a substitute to avoid any re-injury concerns. Carlos Augusto is set to start on the left-back flank, while John Stones and Manuel Akanji are battling for central defensive places alongside Alessandro Bastoni.

Udinese, meanwhile, will be fielding a depleted squad due to injuries to Oumar Solet, Jakub Piotrowski, Keinan Davis, Giorgi Chakvetadze, Matteo Palma, Juan Arizala, and Alessandro Zanoli. The Friulani's manager, Kosta Runjaić, will rely on James Abankwah, Christian Kabasele, and Enzo Ebosse in defense, with goalkeeper Maduka Okoye in goal.

Inter Milan, enjoying a perfect start to their domestic title defense, face Udinese, who have a mixed record of one win, one draw, and one loss.
