William Troost-Ekong back in Udinese training after two-week layoff over injury

Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong is expected to return to the starting line-up for Udinese in Saturday’s Serie A clash against c after spending two weeks on the sidelines due to injury.

Troost-Ekong injured his adductor in Udinese’s 1-1 draw against Sassuolo last month and has not featured for the club ever since.

“Positive note of today is the return to the group of William Troost-Ekong, again in field after the injury to the adductor suffered in occasion of the challenge with the Sassuolo,” reads a statement on Udinese’s official website.

Troost-Ekong who has been ever present for the club this season has made 32 league appearances for Igor Tudor’s men.

Udinese are currently 17th on the Serie A table, a place above the relegation zone.
