Udinese have been dealt a blow ahead of their visit to Serie A title contenders Napoli tomorrow after talismanic striker Antonio di Natale was ruled out of the match with a foot injury.

Di Natale is the league’s top scorer with 26 goals so far, but he will be sidelined after an injury knock from training last week flared up again. His absence adds to that of Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez, who is still recovering from injury.

Udinese sit fifth in Italy’s Serie A, having dropped out of the top four last week. Napoli are three points behind leaders Milan with six matches remaining.
