Udinese's Cyril Thereau: Misses opener with suspension

Thereau will miss the season opener Saturday versus Roma due to a suspension that he will carry over from last season.

Analysis:

Thereau will be sorely missed in a tough match up away to Roma after 11 goals and three assists in his 36 Serie A appearances last season. Zapata will have to take on a larger role upfront in the absence of the prolific forward.
