Udinese Coach Sticks with Okoye as First-Choice Goalkeeper Despite Ban

Udinese's head coach, Kosta Runjaic, has decided to stick with goalkeeper Maduka Okoye as the team's first-choice goalkeeper despite Okoye's two-month ban due to a bet scandal. Okoye, a Nigerian international, is expected to return to action after serving his ban.

Runjaic expressed his confidence in Okoye's abilities and stated that Okoye has always been his number one choice. The goalkeeper's return is timely as Udinese prepares to face Cremona in a Serie A game.

Răzvan Șava, who filled in during Okoye's absence, is expected to make way for Okoye's return.
