Maduka Okoye returns, helps Udinese to a point
?
Maduka Okoye has returned to Udinese starting eleven for his first appearance of the season in Monday's away Serie A game against Cremonese, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
?Okoye stood strong between the sticks as the visitors headed home with a point in the bag following a 1-1 at Stadio Giovanni Zini.
?The Nigerian goalkeeper is done serving a two-month ban by the Italian Football Federation for violating football betting regulations.
?He allegedly deliberately received a yellow card for time-wasting in a March 2024 match vs. Lazio, linked to a bet where a friend won €120,000. He was cleared of match-fixing.
Okoye made a crucial save to earn Udinese a point when Jamie Vardy was through on goal but Okoye closed down the angle and blocked his shot.
