Cristante to be called up for Udinese match

Bryan Cristante is expected to be back with the squad in the upcoming match with Udinese.

The Italian midfielder has been out for over a month and a half due to an ankle injury suffered on 2 December against Atalanta.

Despite partially training with the rest of the team in the lead up to the match against AZ Alkmaar, Cristante was ultimately left behind at Trigoria.

According to Il Tempo, however, Claudio Ranieri will decide to call him up ahead of Sunday’s game in Udine.
