Ghanaian youngster Raymond Anokye Asante scores in back-to-back games after injury return

Ghanaian forward Raymond Anokye Asante scored in the second game running for Udinese U19s after returning from injury.

The 19-year-old returned from a shoulder injury last weekend after being out for several months and scored in his first game during the 3-2 defeat against Padova U19 in the Italian Primavera 2.

Asante was also handed a starting berth this weekend when Udinese faced Cittadella U19 in the second round of the league and added to his goal tally.

The Ghanaian rose highest in the box to connect with a cross from a free-kick to double Udinese’s lead before the game went on to end 2-1.

The youngster earlier in the season was unveiled as a first-team player and will wear the No.77 shirt but he will first need to regain his form which looks to be going to plan with the club’s youth side.

With two goals in his first two games, Asante is already buzzing and looks to get better as he waits a first-team opportunity.
