Jakub Piotrowski, Udinese's Polish midfielder, has received competitive fitness following cardiac ablation surgery carried out on 14 September. The operation, aimed at correcting a benign arrhythmia, allowed the 29-year-old player to return to the disposal of coach Kosta Runjaic without further worries. Udinese announced the news with great relief, as Piotrowski had been forced to leave the pitch during the home match against Lazio on 7 September, when symptoms of a heart problem caused him to be ruled out of the game.
The problem emerged shortly after the start of the match, when the player showed signs of fatigue and pain. The doctors at the stadium immediately started a series of tests, which confirmed the presence of an arrhythmia. The ablation surgery, performed in September, eliminated the source of the cardiac irregularity, allowing the midfielder to recover full physical capacity. After weeks of personalized rehabilitation, Piotrowski is now ready to intensify his training loads and reintegrate into the playing group.
Runjaic expressed great satisfaction with the player's return, underlining the importance of his presence on the pitch. "He is a fundamental player for our structure and we are happy that he is back in shape. Now he can focus on his role and contribute to the team's success," said the coach. Piotrowski, who has already shown an excellent level of performance in the past, was considered a key element for the final phase of the season.
The news comes at a crucial moment for Udinese, who are preparing to finalize their squad for the next matches. With Piotrowski available again, the team will be able to strengthen their midfield and increase their tactical options to face their opponents. The player, who has shown great resilience, is ready to contribute to the achievement of the team's objectives. Udinese, with the confirmation of his suitability, will now be able to concentrate on the next matches without worries related to the midfielder's health.
