Mario Balotelli AC MilanAC Milan striker Mario Balotelli looks set to make his first start for Il Diavolo when they take on Udinese.

The Rossoneri travel to the newly renovated Stadio Friuli on Tuesday night, with several changes expected to the starting line-up that faced Palermo.

As reported by Tuttomercatoweb, coach Sinisa Mihajlovic could start Balotelli in place of Luiz Adriano in a partnership with Carlos Bacca, with Keisuke Honda set to remain in the hole behind them.

Both Ignazio Abate and Juraj Kucka have picked up injuries so will miss out, with Abate’s place set to be taken by 18-year-old Davide Calabria who impressed against the Rosanero, while Andrea Poli will most likely return to the midfield.

Youngsters Andres Llamas and Manuel Locatelli have taken the place of Abate and Kucka in the named squad, but are unlikely to make an appearance.
