Jakub Piotrowski nears return to Udinese following cardiac surgery

Udinese midfielder Jakub Piotrowski is nearing a return to competitive action following a cardiac procedure. The Polish player underwent ablation surgery at the Policlinico San Donato to treat atrial flutter.

Medical staff are monitoring his recovery closely, but reports indicate he is close to receiving the necessary health clearance to resume training. While a return for the upcoming match against Torino is considered unlikely due to the short timeframe, Piotrowski is targeting the home fixture against Lecce on October 18.

His return is expected to provide tactical depth and physicality for manager Kosta Runjaic as the team seeks to maintain consistency in the season.
