Juventus Handed Major Champions League Boost as Leonardo Bonucci Returns to Training

Juventus have been handed a huge boost after Leonardo Bonucci returned to training after two weeks out with an ankle injury.

The 31-year-old central defender, who re-joined Juventus this summer after spending a year at Serie A rivals Milan, was expected to be on the sidelines for around a month after being replaced at half-time during I Bianconeri's clash with Lazio at the end of January.

He was able to take part in training on Tuesday though, confirmed by Juventus' official Twitter, handing manager Massimiliano Allegri a major boost ahead of next week's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.
