Lichtsteiner has returned to training with Juventus.
Stephan Lichtsteiner has returned to training with Juventus
following surgery to correct a heart problem.
The Switzerland international complained of breathing
difficulties in September's draw with Frosinone and underwent a
corrective operation at the beginning of October.
The 31-year-old was expected to be out of action for a month
and Juventus confirmed he trained with the first team early on
Sunday as part of his continuing recovery.
"There is no better way to properly celebrate Juventus day and
the Old Lady's 118th birthday: not only the derby victory
[against Torino] with Juan Cuadrado scoring in the last minute,
but also the return of Stephan Lichtsteiner to the group," read a
statement on the club's official website.
"After carrying out the necessary tests, the Swiss trained with
his team-mates this morning, who have started to prepare for
the Champions League game with Borussia Monchengladbach."
Juve also confirmed that Sami Khedira, who picked up a
muscle injury against Torino, will face further medical tests on
Monday.
