Udinese, in preparation for the match against Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma, is trying to put a key defender back on the field: Oumar Solet. Coach Kosta Runjaic said he wanted to give the young Frenchman, who has had a disappointing start to the season, a chance to help improve the team's performance.
According to Messaggero Veneto, Solet is recovering from a muscle problem in his left pectineus, which had kept him out of the last two matches against Milan and Parma. The instrumental examination confirmed that the injury has resolved and the attacker has already started to resume training, before increasing the workload to test the adductor response. The goal is for Solet to be ready for today's match against the Giallorossi.
Meanwhile, David Alaba's situation remains uncertain. The coach decided to suspend his return after an injury to his right calf, which was treated with Lecce. Alaba aims to return to the pitch on 22 November, when Udinese face Bologna. However, the coach stressed that the player will need more time to fully recover.
With Roma advancing in the standings and Gasperini's Roma trying to consolidate their defence, Udinese see Solet as a possible solution to strengthen the defensive zone. If the young Frenchman can show his form again, he could become a key asset for the team at this crucial stage of the season.
The result of the match against Roma will be decisive for Udinese's position in Serie A, and the possibility of seeing Solet return to the pitch could offer new impetus to the team. Alaba, however, will have to wait for his return, with the hope that his recovery will proceed without further complications.
