Maduka Okoye to make Serie A debut for Udinese after Super Eagles snub

Udinese will play their final game of 2023 against Bologna at the Bluenergy Stadium.

 Okoye, who joined Udinese from Watford in the summer, has only featured once for the club in the Coppa Italia. 

Club manager Gabrielle Cioffi is now ready to give the Nigeria international his debut, stating, 

"I am delighted to have Marco Silvestri here. He is a top goalkeeper who has been a backbone for the team. His two stand-ins are also excellent. 

"That is why I have decided to give Maduka Okoye a chance. It is a technical decision, and I am not throwing anyone under the bus. The position of the goalkeeper is the same as any other."
