Team News: Hernanes on bench for Lazio against Udinese

Hernanes has been left out of Lazio's starting lineup for their Serie A clash against Udinese in Rome tonight.

The Brazilian playmaker has recovered from his recent injury, but is only fit enough for the bench.

Cristian Brocchi, Andre Dias and Mauro Zarate are also out of Lazio's lineup for the game at the Stadio Olimpico, while Udinese are without the injured Giampiero Pinzi, Mehdi Benatia, Dusan Basta, Andrea Lazzari, Diego Fabbrini, Luis Muriel and Paulo Vitor Barreto.

Danilo has returned from suspension for the Bianconeri and will slot into a three-man defence.

Lazio will wear a special shirt for tonight's game bearing the slogan 'No racism' following recent incidents surrounding Tottenham Hotspur fans in Rome.

Lazio: Marchetti; Cavanda, Biava, Ciani, Radu; Ledesma; Candreva, Gonzalez, Ederson, Mauri; Klose

Udinese: Brkic; Coda, Danilo, Domizzi; Pereyra, Willians, Allan, Badu, Armero; Maicosuel; Di Natale
