Juventus have been boosted by the return of captain Giorgio Chiellini after he trained on Saturday.

Chielini missed Juve’s preseason tour of Asia with a calf injury, but Juve confirmed earlier that he worked with the group as usual.

Providing he stays fit, the defender should be available for next week’s International Champions Cup finale against Atletico Madrid in Sweden.

It comes amidst alleged concerns on the club’s part over the veteran’s long-term fitness.
