Lichtsteiner back in training

Stephan Lichtsteiner returned to training with Juventus for the first time since heart surgery.

The Swiss international had an operation to correct an atrial flutter cardiac arrhythmia on October 2.

He suffered breathing difficulties during the 1-1 draw with Frosinone.

Doctors said he’d be able to resume training in a month and that has proved to be the case, as he was back with his teammates at the Vinovo ground today.

However, it remains to be seen when Lichtsteiner will be given game time.

Sami Khedira went off yesterday during the 2-1 win over Torino with a suspected calf strain.

He will undergo tests tomorrow, but is certainly ruled out of Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Borussia Monchengladbach.
