Udinese will be keeping a close eye on Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye's physical and psychological recovery following a distressing international break with Nigeria, Soccernet.ng reports .
Okoye returned to Udine on Wednesday evening, ready to rejoin his club ahead of a crucial Serie A clash against AC Milan on October 19.
The Nigerian international was part of a delegation forced to endure a tense and chaotic situation in Libya earlier in the week.
The Super Eagles had to make an unexpected landing at a Libyan airport en route to their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
While there, they were detained in what was described as hostile conditions for over 15 hours, an ordeal that left the team mentally and physically drained. The match was eventually cancelled, and the team returned to Nigeria on Monday after the situation de-escalated.
