Italian Serie A side Udinese will be without Ghana international midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu for their crucial clash against Fiorentina in the Italian top-flight tie over the weekend.

The 24-year-old who scored a brace for the Zebras in their 7-0 friendly win over Manzenese is out of the game due to suspension.

Badu has received three yellow cards in his last ten games for Udinese and that has ensured he will not be able to feature in the game for Udinese.

Udinese, who are in mid-table place, host Fiorentina at the Stadio Communale Fruili as they seek to win their second game in five.

But manager Andrea Stramaccioni must find a replacement for Badu in his midfield. Badu has played 18 league games for Udinese this season.
