Khedira returns to Juventus training

The Germany international has yet to make his debut for the Serie A champion having missed the opening weeks of the season, but is nearing a full return to fitness.

Sami Khedira has stepped up his recovery from a thigh injury after making his return to Juventus training.

The Scudetto holder has endured a disappointing start to the new campaign, with Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Napoli leaving the club languishing in 14th place in the Serie A standings.

A 2-1 win over Manchester City on matchday one of the Champions League provided a rare highlight, and the team could have Khedira available for Wednesday's Group D meeting with Sevilla at Juventus Stadium having missed the last two months.
