DNP in Lecce contest
Abankwah (thigh) wasn't deployed in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Lecce.
Analysis: Abankwah didn't miss time despite an ailment but didn't get the start and wasn't inserted later, as Udinese made aggressive subs to try to come back. David Alaba, Enzo Ebosse and Matteo Palma got minutes over him in this one, but they didn't fare well. He'll likely be back in the XI once he's 100 percent.
Available versus Lecce
Abankwah "felt a pinch last week, but it was a nerve-related problem rather than a muscular one, and he'll be an option for Sunday," coach Kosta Runjaic relayed.
Analysis: Abankwah won't miss time after leaving early last week, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to continue starting over Nicolo Bertola, Matteo Palma and Christian Kabasele. He has tallied four tackles (three won), four interceptions and 15 clearances in the last five matches, with no clean sheets.
