Alexis Sanchez’s return to Udinese has been anything but smooth, as the Chilean forward faces yet another setback in his recovery. After rejoining the club this summer, Sanchez has yet to step onto the pitch and is now dealing with new calf issues that have emerged during recent training sessions. According to reports from Calciomercato, the Udinese medical staff have recommended a precautionary break to ensure he regains full fitness and does not jeopardize his recovery progress.
Sanchez will definitely miss the upcoming match against Atalanta, and his return may be pushed back even further. Initially, there was hope that he could make his comeback by the end of November, specifically for the match against Empoli on November 25. However, with this latest injury update, that timeline now appears uncertain. The 35-year-old forward may not be back until December, but given the unpredictability of his condition, making definitive plans regarding his availability remains challenging.
Despite these difficulties, Udinese are optimistic about Sanchez’s eventual return. His experience and skill are seen as vital assets that could help elevate the team’s performance in what has been a promising season so far.
