Kwadwo Asamoah came on for the remaining eight minutes of Juventus’ victory at home against Sampdoria in Serie A on Wednesday night.
The Ghana midfielder had been out with a knee injury since September 24 after picking up the knock in a game against Palermo, and had a successful surgery in Barcelona, Spain that was expected to keep him away for 45 days.
However, the 27-year-old made early recovery which enabled him to be included in Wednesday’s game at the Juventus Stadium where his side ran riot, winning 4-1 with goals from Mario Mandzukic, Miralem Pjanic and a brace from defender Giorgio Chiellini.
Asamoah’s return is a major boost for the Black Stars as they prepare to take on Egypt in a crucial world cup qualifier next month with the cup of nations also to come in January.
