Turkey international Merih Demiral has resumed training with Juventus for the first time since his knee injury in January.

The defender ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament on January 12 and was expected to miss the rest of the season.

As that was interrupted for two months by the coronavirus pandemic, he has found himself back in the running to conclude the campaign.

“Individual training programs continued for the Juventus Players,” read a club statement.

“The Bianconeri involved, as in recent days, were Bentancur, Bernardeschi, Bonucci, Buffon, Chiellini, Cuadrado, De Sciglio, Dybala, Pinsoglio, Pjanic, Ramsey and Rugani.

“Today there is news concerning Merih Demiral: the Turkish player returned to the Training Center. Merih, who continues his rehabilitation at Juve Medical, has now also started to work on the field, as he gradually continues his recovery.”

Adrien Rabiot and Gonzalo Higuain have still not returned from abroad and will both require a 15-day quarantine before they can start training again.
