Kwadwo Asamoah steps up fitness chase

Kwadwo Asamoah has moved a step closer to returning to full fitness after working inside the club's installations.

The multi-talented Juventus midfielder did not accompany his teammates on the pitch but was rather visited by Alvaro Morata as he worked out in the gym.

The 25-year-old Ghana international has been out of action for Juventus since April with left knee injury.

Asamoah was expected to spend two months out but complications meant the former Udinese man had to endure a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Originally, he was supposed to be ready to join in at some stage with pre season training before it was mentioned that he could return before the new Serie A season.
