Udinese confirms Okoye fit for Como clash Monday

Udinese head coach Kosta Runjaic has given Maduka Okoye full fitness clearance for Monday's Serie A match against Como, according to DAILY POST. The 26-year-old Nigerian goalkeeper sustained a thigh injury while on international duty with the Super Eagles last week. Okoye played in Nigeria's 2-1 friendly victory over Iran but was released before the subsequent 2-2 draw with Jordan after picking up the injury in training. Runjaic confirmed a full squad training session on Sunday—the first since the international break—stating, "Except for Zemura, Buksa and Zanoli, everyone is available." This means Okoye will be available for selection as Udinese resumes club action. The match in Como represents Udinese's first game back in Serie A following the international window.
