Udinese have been handed a major fitness boost ahead of this afternoon's clash with Serie A high-flyers Fiorentina, with Antonio Di Natale back to lead the line in attack.

Di Natale returns from injury to replace Luis Muriel in a lone front role, supported by Giampiero Pinzi and Roberto Pereyra.

Fiorentina, meanwhile, have Serie A's top scorer Giuseppe Rossi back from international duty and fit to start, flanked by Spanish winger Joaquin and Juan Cuadrado.

David Pizarro is recalled in defensive midfield to provide Borja Valero with licence to roam forward, as La Viola look to end a run of six defeats in seven matches at the Stadio Friuli.

Udinese: Brkic; Hertaux, Danilo, Domizzi, Gabriel Silva; Pinzi, Lazzari; Basta, Pereyra, Fernandes; Di Natale

Fiorentina: Neto; Tomovic, Rodriguez, Savic, Pasqual; Aquilani, Pizarro, Borja Valero; Joaquin, Rossi, Cuadrado
