Alexis has been struggling with a leg complaint since his return to Udines from Inter Milan this season.
Runjaic said: “He still needs a little bit more time, if everything goes well, we should see him in January at the latest.
"We have been patient, so a couple more weeks does not change much for us.
“We want to have him back and we will give him the time he needs. He’s a great player and we can’t wait to have him available again.”
