Juventus have received some encouraging news from the treatment table in the build-up to the Serie A match at home against AC Milan on Sunday as Paolo De Ceglie has resumed training after an injury lay-off.


The defender, who has been first choice at left-back under new head coach Antonio Conte, picked up a knock in his side's 1-1 league draw against Bologna 10 days ago and has been ruled out of action since.

De Ceglie consequently missed Juventus' 1-1 draw away against Catania last weekend, but the Turin giants have now revealed on their official website that he is close to a return to full fitness.

The 25-year-old completed most of Thursday's training session without any noteworthy problems, and a decision on his availability for this weekend's clash is expected to be made in the hours before kick-off.

Sunday's encounter at the Juventus stadium kicks off at 20:45 CET.
