Serie A outfit Udinese are counting on Agyemang Badu to reinforce their midfield for the second half of the season.

The club will not enter the January transfer market as they wait for the full recovery of the Ghanaian international.

The 27-year-old has been out of action for some time now after suffering the injury whiles training with the Italian side.

The hard tackling midfielder has already begun training with his Udinese teammates and is expected to receive the medical all clear in the next few days.

Badu is yet to play a game for the team this season in the Italian Serie A.
