Success, possible stretch Deulofeu works with the ball

UDINE

It had to be “his” friendly match, useful for putting himself in the spotlight and also on the list among the various quality options possible in attack, instead Isaac Success risks a new stop after the injury remedied in yesterday’s test in the 27th minute of the first half, when he remained on the ground after a race in the recovery phase, and was then replaced without even having tried to resume the game. All the fault of a muscle problem that will be assessed tomorrow, when training resumes after the free Sunday from which Udinese will benefit, but which from the very first assessments refers to a possible strain in the left leg flexor.

From the ground, at the moment of the rescue, Success showed a muscle stretching which however did not prevent him from getting up and leaving the field with his own legs. Too bad, one might say, because after the vicissitudes related to gastrointestinal problems he had at the beginning of September, and all the time it took him to regain his condition, yesterday the Nigerian had shown a decent run and an aptitude for the module by moving as a playmaker right, position from which he posted two passes with the tachometer.

Success’s injury is therefore not good news in view of the resumption of the championship next Sunday with Bologna, and is paired with that relating to Mato Jajalo, not used in the test for the after-effects of a bruise remedied in training. No problem, however, for Bram Nuytinck, dispensed from the friendly. The captain is fine and yesterday he was simply placed “under a display case” as part of a prudent management that was also chosen for Gerard Deulofeu, Nacho Pussetto and Nehuen Perez, or the three candidates to return to the group in view of the resumption of the championship. As scheduled, the three yesterday were not used, but “left” to the umpteenth differentiated training of the week.

Dulofeu also worked with the ball, a sign that the bruise on his right ankle remedied last Sunday in Marassi, resulting in a substitution in the 5 ‘of the second half, is on the way to complete recovery. Even Nacho Pussetto – who did not enter Genoa – trained separately and aims to make it by Sunday, even if he has not yet completely disposed of the hassles derived from the blow to the knee remedied last week. Perez is working on a small muscle injury near the adductor. –
