Team News: Antonio Di Natale on the bench for Udinese

Udinese captain Antonio Di Natale has been named on the bench for this afternoon's Serie A match at Chievo.

The 37-year-old scored the only goal in his club's 3-1 defeat against Palmero last weekend, but his place is taken by Panagiotis Kone, who will partner Cyril Thereau in the attack.

Andrea Stramaccioni has made three other changes, as Igor Bubnjic, Bruno Fernandes and Giovanni Pasquale start in place of Wague, Guilherme and Gabriel Silva.

Meanwhile, Chievo have made two alterations to the team that beat Cesena last Sunday as Valter Birsa and Sergio Pellissier earn recalls.

Chievo: Bizarri, Dainelli, Cesar, Frey, Zukanovic, Radovanovic, Izco, Birsa, Hetemaj, Pelissier, Meggiorini

Udinese: Karnezis, Bubnjic, Danilo, Piris, Widmer, Allan, Pinzi, Pasquale, Fernandes, Kone, Thereau
