The Nigerian international returned to action for Udinese against Cremonese two weeks ago and made his third appearance of the season during the 3-1 defeat to Juventus on Wednesday night.
Okoye admitted that being away from football was challenging. “I’ve been out for a while, and it’s always difficult to be without football, but the goalkeeping coaches and my teammates have always supported me,” Okoye told the club’s official website.
