Agyemang Badu is happy overcoming stomach bug illness
Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu was
thrilled to have recovered in time from illness
with a superlative second-half display for Udinese
in their 3-1 win over Pescara on Sunday.

Badu, 25, was hospitalised for days in his native
country after he suffered gastroenteritis (stomach
flu) while on international duty with Ghana.

The Ghana international did not take part in his
side's 2-1 defeat to Juventus last weekend but
returned to the team to help out in their 3-1 win
over Pescara.

And the Ghanaian has been left happy with his
return to the pitch.

"The past two weeks have been very difficult for
me. After the international break with my national
team, I faced several setbacks and although I am
not back to my full fitness, I think I am getting
better," Badu told Udinese TV.

"I wanted to help the team today and we had a good
game by defeating Pescara thanks to my teammates,
coaches and the supporters," he added.

Badu made a subsitute appearance for Ghana during
their 0-0 draw against Uganda in a 2018 World Cup
qualifier.

He suffered the illness in South Africa where the
Ghanaians played out a 1-1 stalemate against
Bafana Bafana in an international friendly last
week.
