Udinese, Friuli side face left-back crisis ahead of Napoli clash | OneFootball

Udinese prepares to face Napoli, but must deal with a real emergency on the left wing.

Udinese, Friulians in emergency on the left wing for the match against Napoli

Kosta Runjaic's team will likely have to redesign the defensive setup, given the situation with the injured players.

Kamara in doubt: recovery at risk for the entire match

Kamara has been out since November 26 due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The player will try to push through to be part of the match, but it is not guaranteed that he can last the full 90 minutes. His condition is being monitored daily by the medical staff, who will need to decide whether to risk him or preserve him for upcoming games.

Zemura out for at least a month

The bad news doesn't end there: Zemura is dealing with a flexor injury in his right thigh and will be unavailable for about a month. This setback forces the management and technical staff to rethink alternatives on the left wing.

Rui Modesto ready to step in

With Kamara and Zemura in doubt, Rui Modesto is a candidate for the starting position. The young fullback has already shown good performances in the recent match against Genoa and could again be called upon to lead the side, providing defensive coverage and offensive drive.

Managing this emergency will be crucial for Udinese, who will have to face Napoli with a balanced tactical solution, aiming to contain the incursions of the Neapolitan attackers.
