Ghanaian defender James Abankwah’s planned debut for Serie A side Udinese has been delayed with the 18-year-old still warming the bench.
He was left on the bench as Udinese managed to beat AS Monza 2-1 in a league clash.

Destiny Udogie grabbed the winner to give his Udinese Calcio side their first win of the season, and leave an aspiring Monza without a single point from their opening three games.
Abankwah joined the club from Irish side St. Pat’s in January but was loaned back to the Irish side immediately. His loan deal came to an end this summer and returned to Udinese with the hope of getting regular minutes in Italy.
