Udinese Calcio can confirm that Idrissa Gueye sprained his ankle during last Saturday's friendly against Pogon Szczecin. He has already begun his rehabilitation and will be assessed on a weekly basis.
Nicolo Zaniolo meanwhile sustained a hamstring (biceps femoris) strain in his right leg while on international duty with Italy. He has begun a recovery programme in Udine and is expected to return in three to four weeks.
