Fit-again Kwadwo Asamoah was handed starting role in Juventus' Serie A clash at Lazio.

The Ghana international has not kicked a ball since October when a relapse thigh injury sidelined him for 20 days.

But the versatile midfielder has showed tremendous improvements in the treatment and convinced coach Max Allegri about his assertiveness.

Asamoah is going through a bad patch due to injuries which saw him miss nine months of action.

Juventus won the game by 2-0 with goals from Bruno and an own goal from Santago Gentilleti.
