Okoye Returns to Training with Udinese After Injury

Maduka Okoye, a Nigeria international and goalkeeper for Serie A club Udinese, has resumed training following a shoulder injury he sustained during the club's training camp in Austria last month. After completing his rehabilitation program under the supervision of Udinese's medical staff, Okoye has returned to full team training.

However, he has not yet participated in any of Udinese's pre-season friendlies due to this injury. The club has decided that Okoye will not feature in their upcoming friendlies against Barcelona and Nottingham Forest to ensure he regains full match fitness and avoids any further physical setbacks.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper is expected to be ready for Udinese's first game of the season, which is scheduled against Padova on Saturday, August 15, in the first round of the Coppa Italia.
