Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has been cleared to face Como on Monday after recovering from a thigh injury sustained during Nigeria's 2-1 win over Iran. The 26-year-old was initially sidelined ahead of the international break and missed Nigeria's subsequent 2-2 draw with Jordan due to the injury. Head coach Kosta Runjaic confirmed Okoye's return to full training, stating the squad trained together for the first time since the break. Runjaic noted only three players—Zemura, Buksa and Zanoli—remain unavailable for selection. Okoye's inclusion boosts Udinese's defensive options as they prepare for the Serie A fixture.
