It’s reported they took 500 pesos and left Battocchio with injuries to his face and jaw.

The 20-year-old will return to Udine tomorrow and undergo a medical to ensure there is no lasting damage.

This has been a difficult week for Udinese, as midfielder Christian Obodo was kidnapped in Nigeria and escaped from his captors when they were prepared to kill him.
