Stretching for the blue, out for Spezia and three other races. The young Frenchman seems to have an advantage over the Dutch veteran
UDINE. The verdict you didn’t want to hear. Destiny Udogie has to stop for two weeks. This is the response of the instrumental investigations to which the blue – returning from a stop during the last match with the Under 21, in Vicenza against Montenegro – underwent to verify the exact extent of the injury that caused him on Tuesday evening. made to leave the field a little more than a quarter of an hour from the end after the second game in a row as a starter in the qualifications for the next European championships in the category.
This is a certificate of esteem by the coach Paolo Nicolato who has decided to bet, for the left wing on a player born in 2002, but the overtime has cost Udogie dear and complicates Luca Gotti’s plans in view of the away match on Sunday. on the La Spezia field, a commitment that will restart the joust of the Bianconeri championship.
But what did the azure do to itself? Nothing serious, for heaven’s sake, he reported an elongation of the psoas, a strain on his right thigh to simplify the diagnosis of the Udinese medical staff, an injury that will force Udogie to stop for at least two weeks.
And given the rhythm of the championship immediately after the first stop reserved for the national teams, this is a problem that will force Udinese not to have it available, as well as for the match on Sunday with Spezia, also for the subsequent matches that will take place. they will play in just 14 days, against Napoli, Roma (in the midweek round) and Fiorentina, even if for this appointment there could be a tenuous hope which, however, should not be fed now with optimistic forecasts. Muscle problems, as we know, must be monitored practically day after day.
The point is that someone like Udogie would have served Gotti like bread for the first trip of the season. Against Spezia, in fact, Molina will be there but it will hardly be risked, let alone if as a starter. The fault of the crazy calendar for the next World Cup qualifiers is forcing the South American national teams to authentic tour de force.
That of Argentina ended only in the night against Bolivia. A time that will allow the return of Molina Europe only in the evening today, just the time to think about resting and setting the alarm for the finishing session before tomorrow’s departure for Liguria.
Luckily Styger Larsen on Thursday 9th was already at work at Bruseschi (where Forestieri also met in the group) and the return of the Danish wildcard is a good breath of fresh air for Gotti who can thus evaluate with serenity who to entrust the other band . The Contarina technician is studying two solutions in these hours, evaluating the responses of those directly involved in training (Friday, as happened on Thursday, afternoon session).
The first leads to the Frenchman Brandon Soppy who only competed in the gallop against the Dolomites, last Saturday, but who seems to be in pole position for a starting place against the veteran Marvin Zeegelaar who now Gotti sees more as a left-handed defensive center, despite a career as an outsider.
Should he play Soppy therefore, he would do it on the right with Larsen in the other lane, while Zeegelaar would be the owner on the left, with the consequent movement of the Dane to what is now Molina’s office. –
