Ghana international Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has expressed delight by his first league start in a year as Udinese faced Lazio in the Italian Serie A on Wednesday.
The midfielder, who made a return from injury last month after about a year on the sidelines, was a notable presence in coach Igor Tudor's starting XI. His comeback was un unhappy one as they succumbed to a 2-0 away loss at Stadio Olimpico.
It was the 28-year-old's second game of the season following a substitute appearance against Genoa last month.
