Juventus’ Kwadwo Asamoah has been cleared to return to training within three weeks, as he recovers from knee surgery.

The Ghanaian international missed most of last season, having gone under the knife to fix a recurring problem with his knee cartilage.

Asamoah has not featured for the Bianconeri during pre-season, but in a statement on their official website, the Turin giants have confirmed that the midfielder is on the road to recovery.

“Good news for Kwadwo Asamoah,” the Press release began.

“The Ghanaian midfielder, examined by Professor [Ramon] Cugat in Barcelona today, has been given the green light to step-up his on-pitch work, and to join up with the team in three weeks.”
