Muscle injury forces Udinese to substitute James Abankwah

Udinese suffered another blow during the match against Torino, as the coaching staff was forced to substitute Irish defender James Abankwah due to a thigh muscle issue, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

James Abankwah felt muscle pain that required the intervention of the team's medical staff, who tried to manage the injury. However, the player was unable to continue playing, prompting the coach to substitute him and bring on Bertola in his place.

The Irish defender is set to undergo necessary medical examinations in the coming hours to determine the nature of the injury and its severity, as well as to reveal the potential duration of his absence from the pitch.

Udinese are awaiting the results of tests to determine James Abankwah's status for upcoming matches, as they wait for clarity on the severity of his injury and the date of his return to team training.
