Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah returned to competitive action for the first time in nearly one year after playing in Juventus's 3-1 win over Bologna in the Serie A on Sunday.
Coach Max Allegri fulfilled his promise of fielding the fit-again Ghana at the Juventus Stadium after recovering from the injury that has kept him out of action for close to a year.
The versatile midfielder was introduced in stoppage time after taking the place of Germany international Sami Khedira.
It was the first competitive match for the Ghana international à since November last year in the UEFA Champions League 3-2 win over Olympiacos due to a recurrent knee problem.
Asamoah showed steady progress when he scored in Fridayââ¬â¢s 4-0 friendly win over Borgaro where he lasted for an hour.
