Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin has received bad news from the treatment table in the aftermath of a 2-1 Serie A home loss against AC Milan on Saturday evening, as midfielder Mauricio Isla and striker Antonio Di Natale both picked up injuries.
The 23-year-old Isla sustained a knee injury following an unfortunate collision with Massimo Ambrosini in the second half, and was consequently stretchered off after 61 minutes of play.
Udinese have now released a statement on their official website saying that Isla has damaged the ligaments in his right knee, and could be out of action until the end of the season.
Di Natale, who netted the opener on Saturday, was forced to leave the pitch in the 75th minute due to a toe problem, and will be rested for several days before deciding on his recovery process.
Udinese currently sit fourth in the Serie A table with 41 points from 23 games.
