In late September 2026, Udinese attacker Nicolò Zaniolo was expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks due to a biceps femoris lesion sustained during international duty. This injury, alongside an ankle sprain to Idrissa Gueye, impacted the club’s availability for matches against Torino and Lecce.

By late October, Zaniolo recovered from his muscle injury and was expected to be available for the match against Milan. However, the club faced new setbacks as David Alaba suffered a right calf muscle injury, which is expected to keep him out of at least four matches.
