Ekong focused on Empoli clash after resuming training

Nigeria international, William Troost-Ekong has returned to training with his eyes firmly fixed  on featuring for Udinese as they face Empoli in a Seria A clash on Sunday.

The centre back has been out of action after complaining of pains in the abductor after the international break.

Since then he has been under observation thus prompting the club to drop him from last Tuesday’s league match against AC Milan at the San Siro.

Now back on his feet, Ekong who is born to a Dutch mother and Nigerian father has spoken of his readiness to ensure Udinese avoid defeat ahead of today’s encounter.

“The hard work goes on. All focused on Sunday. ⚫️⚪️ #ForzaUdinese, ” he tweeted.
