18:31 Confirmed line-ups
Udinese (3-5-1-1): Okoye; Perez, Bijol, Kristensen; Ferreira, Samardzic, Walace, Payero, Zemura; Pereyra; Lucca.
Roma (3-4-1-2): Svilar; Mancini, Smalling, Angelino; Karsdorp, Cristante, Pellegrini, Spinazzola; Dybala; Azmoun, Abraham.
Join us for the build-up and action from the remaining 18 minutes of the Serie A match between Udinese and Roma, which will be played out on Thursday evenings with the scores level at 1-1.
The match had originally kicked off as scheduled on April 14, but was suspended in the 72nd minute after Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed on the pitch. The Ivorian was taken to hospital and has subsequently been cleared to return to action.
As is customary for suspended matches in Serie A, the game will pick up again from where it left off, rather than being replayed in full.
So, we will have 18 minutes of regular time plus stoppages this evening.
There will be no involvement for Udinese pair Kingsley Ehizibue and Hassane Kamara, who were substituted off during the original game, and are therefore not permitted to re-enter. The same goes for Roma duo Dean Huijsen and Houssem Aouar.
In terms of injuries, Udinese will be without Sandi Lovric, Florian Thauvin, Gerard Deulofeu, Enzo Ebosse and Lautaro Giannetti, while the Giallorossi will likely have to do without Ndicka and Romelu Lukaku, although they are expected to return for the final matches of the 2023-24 season.
Kick-off is due at 19.00 BST.
